Issues coordination call

[Diane Jordan <drj@us.ibm.com>]

Monica Martin, Peter Furniss and Yaron Goland attended the issue 
coordination call today.  Notes from our discussion:
- agenda for next week's conf call will include those issues proposed for 
vote (2, 27, 36, 46, 47 at present) and issue 3 which Satish has started a 
discussion thread around.  This may be more than enough for one call but 
we'd also like to make progress on issue 72.   We will include an indepth 
discussion of that issue at the end of the agenda next week so that those 
who are interested in participating can stay on to discuss and others may 
drop off if they so desire. 
- Peter volunteered to act as champion for 72 and will prepare strawman 
wording for review. 
- There was some discussion about whether a person's opinions on an issue 
should disqualify them as champions.  I proposed that they should not as 
the rest of the TC will be involved in the discussion and in reviewing any 
proposed solutions.  The members have shown themselves to be sufficiently 
outspoken to assure balance. 
- Issue 23 is being voted by web ballot and closes today.  The number of 
parties voting is less than quorum.  I will check on the Oasis rules for 
this and if it fails to be a valid vote, we will vote on it next week. 
- Web ballots will only be used as a back up measure when we are unable to 
have a consensus decision made by acclamation following all reasonable 
efforts to reach agreement.   (Issue 23 is an exception to this based on 
discussion in previous meetings).
