[xtm-wg] Re: Next XTM WG Meeting(s)

[bryan@cog-tech.com]

I am with Sam here.  We should be able to have meetings which are not
committies of the whole in which specific technical work is done.  The
current modeling group is an example of that.

I would be interested to see a specific agenda proposing technical
issues to be tackled in Montreal.  Perhaps with a specific proposal in
hand, the XTM authoring group can vote to empower a subgroup to meet
and bring back specific recommendations on those issues.

One of the difficulties such a proposal will face is that there seemed
to be consensus at the Paris meeting that the first step was to codify
the formal model implicit in the ISO specification.

I know that Steve has a list of technical issues which he believes
should be addressed by the XTM authoring group.  Perhaps some of these
might form the basis for such an agenda?
