1. Treatment of ns attribute

James: WebDAV uses DAV: as a namespace URI. I want to drop the check on the
ns attribute. This {DAV:} is not a legal URI but DAV is important enough
that we should not block it. Do any disagree with this resolution?
Kohsuke: Not me.
Makoto: Are we not giving an explanation of why?
James: No. I don't think we need to.
Makoto: OK.

This resolution passed with no opposition. The ns attribute will not be
checked by conforming RELAX NG processors. The wording change in the spec
can be reviewed here:

2. Approve of publication of the following documents as Committee specs
a) RELAX NG Specification
b) RELAX NG Tutorial
c) RELAX NG DTD Compatibility

James: Are there any other issues before we put the specs up for vote?

[Silence]

James: I propose that we release the specs as committee documents for 1.0
Let's take a poll.
Norm? Yes
Kohsuke? Yes
Mike? Yes
Makoto? Yes
Josh? Yes
Me? Yes

============================================================================
========================
Congratulations. All specs for version 1.0 of the RELAX NG have been
approved as committe documents.

3. Publication plan

James: The plan is to publish them on Monday, Dec. 3, after correcting
typos. Norm, are you going to be around to put them on the Web site?
Norm: Yes. Let me know if there is anything else to publish on the site and
I'll have it all up there on Monday.
James: We will not be reving the datatype guidelines spec.
James: We should probably have an errata page. I will add a link to the spec
to an empty errata page.

4. Future plans

James: Shall we suspend the TC for a time and then meet...
Norm: You can call for a vote to allow voting by email by 50% of the TC...
Makoto: I am concerned that this will affect the outcome of a vote...
James: I will get consensus first before asking for a vote on an issue.
Makoto: OK.
Norm: 50% or 51% I'm not sure...you can tweak it...
James: Adding items to the errata will be a nice way of dealing with
things...50% have to say yes? You mean the number who attend the meeting?
Norm: You can put to vote whether the chair has the right to call for a vote
{by email} and then allow 50% or more to allow a vote to pass...
James: When shall we meet?
Makoto: How about January?
James: That may be too soon. How about sometime in February?
[general discussion on date]
James: I propose that we meet next time on Februrary 21.

The date for the next meeting passed.

Makoto: I think we have one of the best schema languages!!
James: [By the way], you can use xsi: attributes [from XML Schema] in RELAX
NG, if you ever have occasion to mention it...
Norm: Who all is going to XML 2001?
[Most said they were]
James: We should set up a RELAX NG meeting [in Orlando].
