3/ Celebrity OASIS Guest, Carol Geyer: XML.org community site for XLIFF.
  A. From last month's notes "Magnus suggested that it would be a good idea to have people taking responsibility for some of these. We would like to use a WIKI to work on this."
  B. Refer to Carol's suggestion, posted here: http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200702/msg00001.html .

4/ XLIFF 1.2 Specification status and timeline for approval as a standard

  A. [completed] Sunday, January 21 - Public Review ended 
  B. [completed] Tuesday, January 23  TC Roll call vote: Approved Request for initiation of a Committee Spec Ballot
  C. [completed] Friday, February 2  TC Ballot passed: Approve XLIFF v1.2 as a Committee Specification (http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xliff/ballot.php?id=1207)
     [next steps before moving to item D.]
    i. Rename, re-title, repost XLIFF 1.2 Specification and profiles to reflect the Committee Specification status (Rodolfo)
    ii. Update whitepaper (Rodolfo will do this; Tony located the latest version here: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xliff/document.php?document_id=3111)
    iii. Update FAQ (Tony located latest version here: http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200309/msg00011.html; last author is unknown; Doug will help author the FAQ)
    iv. "Certification by at least three OASIS member organizations that they are successfully using the specification;" (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#3.4)
     The following OASIS members were identified and sent requests:
     - Fredrik Corneliusson, Lionbridge
     - Christian Lieske, SAP AG
     - Matthew Lovatt, Oracle Corporation
     - Magnus Martikainen, SDL International (Magnus confirmed that the affidavit is on its way in a couple weeks)
     - Peter Reynolds, Idiom Technologies, Inc
     - Reinhard Schaler, Localisation Research Centre
(thanks to each member for attempting to obtain certification!)
    v. Wednesday, March 14 (assuming i thru iv are complete) Bryan (and Tony) submit a TC (via email) ballot for TC approval to submit the XLIFF 1.2 Committee Specification to the membership of OASIS for consideration as an OASIS Standard

[note:  I pushed each of the following dates out to reflect a more realistic timeframe for completing 1 thru iv, above]

  D. Wednesday, March 21  (Assuming TC approves the ballot [7 days]) Bryan (and Tony) request TC OASIS Administrator to submit the XLIFF 1.2 Committee Specification to the membership of OASIS for consideration as an OASIS Standard  

  E. Thursday, April 1  (assuming all conditions have been met) TC OASIS Administrator submits the XLIFF 1.2 Committee Specification to the membership of OASIS for consideration as an OASIS Standard

  F. Thursday, April 15  OASIS members have until the end of the month to vote (1st 14 days are reserved for OASIS members familiarizing themselves with the spec)

  G. Monday, May 2  If at least 15% of OASIS voting membership has voted to approve, and no negative votes, XLIFF 1.2 becomes an OASIS Standard.  What if it fails?

5/ XLIFF 2.0 - Life after approval of XLIFF 1.2 
   - Below we have three lists: A. things we want to do, B. things we haven't decided upon yet, and C. things we rule out for 2.0.
   - Let's look at each item in B. to see if we can move it into A. or C. (or if we're not sure, leave it in B.)
   - Assign a TC member to each approved 2.0 item
  A. Items the TC has identified as likely next pursuits for XLIFF 2.0
    i    Reference implementations or toolkit(s) similar to DITA 
         (Rodolfo)
    ii   XLIFF validator tool to be included in a toolkit
         (Rodolfo)
    v    XLIFF Round Trip tool could be modified to support: 
         (DITA/ITS -> XLIFF -> Translated DITA model) 
         (Bryan - it looks like I can change the xliffRoundTrip Tool license from GPL to 
                  Apache {according to an inquiry I made to licensing@fsf.org, the GPL license expert debunked our 
                  misconception that "Once something has a GPL license it is impossible to get out of it"})
  B. Items the TC has not yet ruled out
    iii  Submitting to ISO once XLIFF becomes an OASIS standard
    iv   Additional Representation Guides (DITA,.NET / Win32, Docbook)
    vi   Subsetting / restricting XSD as proposed by Christian
    vii  Version control Metadata - need to track revision information
    viii Ability to store Multilingual Content. 
    ix   Create a bare-bones XLIFF core, then provide extension modules that support additional features.
    x    "Simplify, Extend and Clarify"
(Core XLIFF functionality would be in primary XLIFF namespace; would be very simple to implement.)
(Extensions would provide support for more complicated features like, Segmentation, Pre-Translation, Generic Inline Markup, etc.)
    xi   Schema Catalogues; host a namespace Catalogues 
     for XLIFF 3rd party custom / extension namespaces.
    xii  More work on inline-elements:
(Separate inline elements from other elements? Maybe as an extension? Stronger rules for when to use each inline tag?)
    xiii Define a multi-lingual "Localisation Kit" format, which may include:
(XLIFF content + original source material+ all target language files+ skeleton files + reference files + some sort of manifest document describing/defining the payload.
    xiv  Using XLIFF as a primary content authoring container. 
(Author stores contend directly to XLIFF instead of another proprietary format.)
    xv   Terminology Markup
(Has been suggested by Kara Warburton of IBM some time ago to support terminology markup such as translate (yes/no), subject-categorization, type, etc.)

  C. Items the TC has ruled out as likely features for XLIFF 2.0

6/ Reports from liaisons involved with other standards groups:
  A. W3C i18n
  B. Oscar
  C. Trans-WS
  D. LRC
  E: OASIS DITA Translation Subcommittee

7/ Any Other Business
