3/ Work in Progress: 
A. XLIFF 1.2 Specification 
Committee Spec Process: 

The XLIFF 1.2 spec has been revised (20061016 revision date) to address the issues raised in the public review.

Summary of changes: 
# Modified "uniquely identifies ... within file" to "uniquely identifies ... within  element" in ,  and .
# Updated date of [XML Names] reference to latest revision.
# Removed SRX specification version numbers, and edited text in Segmentation section.

Ballot was openned on 16 Oct and will close on 23 Oct 2006 at 10am.

The PO/POT Representation Guide still requires revision to modify the examples so that they have unique context-group name attribute values.  Rudolfo will provide the updated spec shortly and we will 

If the ballot passes we will submit the work for a 14 day public review.  If no further issues arrise during the review we will conduct a ballot on the spec to approve it as a "Committee Specification".

To progress the work towards an OASIS standard, we need affidavits from OASIS corporate members immediately after approval of the spec as "Committee Specification": 
The OASIS TC standards process requires that we submit 3 affidavits from Organisational members (ie., not individual or associate members) in order to submit the spec to OASIS standard process. The following is an acceptable template for such affidavits: 

"I certify that is successfully using the XLIFF 1.2 specification, as approved for submission to the OASIS membership, consistent with the requirements of the OASIS Technical Committee Process." 

Remaining related work for OASIS Standards Submissionk: 
-Update whitepaper to summarise 1.2 revisions. 
-Update FAQ to summarise 1.2 revisions. 

B. Deferred Open issues: 
a. Translation of Voice XML Issues 
UPDATE (5 Mar 2006) from Mat: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200603/msg00003.html 
Archived Historical detail: 
~ Open until resolution of namespace issue. 
- Mat confirmed that this issue is currently on hold. He will raise again when it becomes an issue in the future. 
Initial: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200403/msg00016.html 
Update: http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200403/msg00017.html 

b. Extending XLIFF with separate namespaces. 
Some thought has been put into this issue but not yet even in draft form. 
ACTION ITEM: Mat & Andzrej were to work offline to advance this work, but Andzrej has at least temporarily taken leave from the TC.  We need to work out who will advance this work. 

c. (Closed - placeholder for revision of FAQ/Whitepaper) Best practice: should extraction process create target elements? 
Topic proposed by Doug. Discussed in mailing list: 
Initial Proposal (Doug): http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200603/msg00023.html 
Comment (Bryan): http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200603/msg00025.html 
Comment (Tony): http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200603/msg00035.html 
Comment (Rodolfo): http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200603/msg00032.html 

The optional meeting took place Thursday 1 June. The meeting notes are detailed here: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200606/msg00006.html 
As a very brief summary, it was agreed that any XLIFF compliant tool should be capable of dealing with empty target elements, since it valid XLIFF. We did not feel it necessary to make any changes to the spec, but felt that an entry in the FAQ and/or whitepaper covering the topic would be helpful. We'll keep this item as a working agenda item until it's time to revise the FAQ / Whitepaper with this information. 

d. (OPEN) XLIFF - DITA Best Practices: 
Purpose of this discussion is to brainstorm what the TC can and should do to provide guidance to those who want to localise / translate DITA content, with potential recommended best practice centered around XLIFF as intermediate container. 

Meeting was held on Thursday, 15 June -> http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200606/msg00014.html 

RECOMMENDATION TO XLIFF TC: 

The best practice of interchanging data between DITA and XLIFF is the same issue as how to interchange data XML and XLIFF in general... e.g., how to use XLIFF with ITS, XML:tm, etc. We suggest that the TC author profile documents similar to the other profiles we've developed, ie, HTML profile... in them we recommend which elements to use or avoid, skeleton file approach, transformation approach, other common problems and recommended solutions. Should address XLIFF ITS, XLIFF XML:TM, XLIFF DITA, maybe XLIFF Docbook. 

We need to work out what if anything is required to advance this work.

4/XLIFF 1.2 Certification activities: 
Feedback and report from Reinhard if he is in attendance.
