#0038 Clean OTT specification template.  Work in progress.

3. STATE OF INTEROPERABILITY REPORT
There have been no new comments on the comment list or the TC list.  (The 60-day public review ends on 2010-05-08.)

4. ODF 1.1 INTEROPERABILITY PROFILE
  a) Bart submitted a new working draft that fixed a few issues.  
<http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=37164>
Not all of the open JIRA issues have been resolved and applied to the working document.

  b) We discussed the scope of the document and what is included, excluded, what does one have whenever the profile is satisfied.  JIRA Issue OIC-75 was the topic.
  Svante talked about SC34 WG55 and its feature level profiling rather than markup-level handling of features, in part because OOXML and ODF may have the same or intersecting features but the markup (approaches) are different.
  Cherie talked about PDF/A and the advantage of dealing with preservation and long-term correct access as a way to narrow and get started as well.
  There was further discussion about how we have not arrived at much by way of test guidelines yet, and the amount of worked involved in doing that.  Bart expressed concern for the interop problems that are out there already.
ACTIONS: Start looking at what is on the table (the current draft) and the JIRA issues.
<http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OIC/component/10102>
  Focus our attention on what to get done immediately and get it done.  Look at what we can do to move ahead.


5. ODF PLUGFEST IN SPAIN, April 15-17
< http://plugfest.opendocsociety.org/doku.php?id=plugfests:201004_granada:info>
Some ODF and OIC TC Members will be there.  We can take a look at the web site, follow on twitter, etc.


6. ROUND TABLE (not held - we were running out of time)


7. FUTURE MEETING PLANNING
For coordination with ISO JTC1/SC34 WG6 teleconferences so they do not coincide with OIC TC meetings, we are asked to confirm that we won't be meeting on any more dates than in the current alternating-Wednesdays schedule.  <http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/oic/201003/msg00056.html>

We confirmed that to be the case through the end of June, 2010.  Bart will communicate this to WG6 Convener Francis Cave.

The next meeting will be on April 21 and at the same time (1330-1430 UT).  



Respectfully submitted,

 - Dennis E. Hamilton
