Chaired by:
      Jon Bosak (bosak@eng.sun.com)

Present were:

      Jon Bosak (bosak@eng.sun.com)

The minutes of the previous meeting were accepted with two corrections:

1.   The phrase:
       "Transitions between process phases provide checkpoints at
        which projects can be reported upon and reassessed, thus,
        for example, discouraging the continuation of failed
        projects from simple inertia or enabling the
        reinitialization of a phase."

    was corrected, to add a comma following the words "inertia".

2.   The title of the attached document was amended to be:

              "Design Principles for the OASIS Committee Process"


Resolutions

1.  There were no technical resolutions, as the major business
    was the initiation of the discussion of the Process Issues as
    outlined in earlier memos from the Chair.

an effort to determine if he is still interested in participation
and to urge him to attend the next meeting.
