* Discussion: ODF maintenance. 

- Rob note that our the corrigenda and amendment ballots were underway in 
SC34

- Dennis has the template for the ODF 1.1 Errata and will aim to have an 
initial WD before April 11th meeting

* Discussion: ODF 1.2

- Rob reported that the CS ballot for ODF 1.2 has ended and appears to 
have passed.  Official notice will come from OASIS, along with a link to a 
copy with revised cover sheet in the next few days.  Next steps are to 
collect our three "Statements of Use", which must reference the 2011-03-17 
approval date of the CS.   After that, we will require another Special 
Majority (2/3 approval) vote to move the CS to the next step of 
processing.

* Discussion: ODF-Next

-  Robin gave an update on the Advanced Document Collaboration SC. 
Microsoft has submitted a change tracking proposal, approx. 20 pages, 
which extends the approach used in ODF 1.2.  Members are reviewing. 
Meetings will be scheduled for April to review and see if consensus can be 
formed.  Otherwise SC will report back to the TC, after which the TC may 
resolve with a vote.

- Jos asked whether ODF 1.3 might attempt using more formal notation for 
expressing constraints, beyond existing RNG schema.  This lead to 
discussion of possibilities with Schematron, NVDL, etc.

-Steven asked about possibly simplifying ODF.  This lead to discussion of 
possible approachs, including modularization, the relationship of ODF 
style inheritance versus CSS and related topics.

- Rob noted that members should continue to enter proposals into JIRA for 
consideration in ODF 1.3.  If there is sufficient interest in an area we 
can create additional subcommittees.
