1. Minutes Approval 

- 29 Jun 2007 -- Patil/Little - approve minutes - Unanimous.

2. Progress on TC Charters 

- Graham Barber reported that the OASIS Member feedback on the six SCA
proposed charters was very low, with just two editing issues raised and
a dialogue regarding language-independent versus language-specific specifications
with opinions regarding each approach.

- We again discussed the role of the Steering Committee
in this process, and decided the following: 
- At our next teleconference, we would take a formal
SC vote against the current status of the charters in order to feedback
our end-of-review period positions to the convenors. The vote would be
based upon both the charters and the e-mail traffic on the <oasis-charter-discuss>
mailing list.
- Once the convenors had issued final charters (post
the OASIS staff / Convenors teleconfs), but before the Call for Participants,
the SC would take the final vote regarding affiliation with the Member
Section. We noted that a Special Majority Vote (Reference: <http://www.oasis-open.org/who/ms_policy.php>
section 4.4) is necessary, requiring five "Yes" votes. An e-mail
or web ballot may be established in order to mitigate against possible
problems caused by vacations.

3. Statement of Work

- Jeff Mischkinsky requested that we start work on
the Statement of Work, discussed by the SC at the last teleconference.
We agreed that it should be an agenda item for our next teleconference
on July 13th.
***
Action Item #0007: Review the Member Section
Work Plan (filed on Documents
List) and provide individual feedback ahead
of the next teleconference (All SC members).

4. Any Other Business

in the first 2 weeks of August
- Mark Little reported that he will be on vacation

our Steering
Committee Calendar, for our convenience.

5. Closure

Meeting closed, 08.30am PDT.

- The next regular teleconference is at 9am PDT on
Friday July 13th.
