- Final version of Approved Errata has been uploaded.  All TC process and 
approvals have been secured.  Next step is to ask OASIS to upload.
- Dennis noted that there was an error introduced in one errata item, a 
missing "to".
- Rob noted that this can be addressed in future errata, or via the ODF 
1.1 reconciliation in SC34.  Track the issue in JIRA.  But we can't change 
it now without triggering a new CD vote and a new public review.
- With the publication of this errata document the TC has satisfied all 
outstanding SC34 defect reports. 

* Discussion: ODF 1.2

- Discussion of Michael's note on treatment of "NEEDS-DISCUSSION" issues
- http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/201009/msg00815.html
- Several uses of this flag today, including: putting a hold on an issue, 
objecting to a proposal, seeking input on your proposal, etc.
- Rob suggested using Apache-style voting (+1, -1, 0, -0.5, + 0.5, etc.) 
in the issue comments to indicate a more accurate sentiment

- Issues that TC members wish to discuss on a call can be added to the 
agenda if they are sent to the list by EOD Wednesday.  The chairs aim to 
send out the agenda on Thursday, giving members sufficient time to 
prepare.

-  41 unassigned issues
- 103 unresolved issues (down from 163 last week).

- discussed issue OFFICE-2694 and agreed to resolve as "no action"

* Adjournment 10:29
