4/ XLIFF 2.0 Goals
Discussion on XLIFF 2.0 goals: there is a list in the wiki classifying goals as MUST HAVE, SHOULD HAVE and NICE TO HAVE. Christian proposes to set a timeframe for releasing XLIFF 2.0. It was agreed to set 18 months as initial goal for voting the first draft and 12 months to review the goals.

5/ Approval of XLIFF 1.2 as an OASIS Specification

Discussion was postponed in order to preserve time for Eric's item.  We recognize that Christian's issues are important and have impact on current XLIFF activities. We will move this to the top of the agenda for a November 6 meeting.

He explained a representation guide for ICU, http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icuhtml/trunk/design/locale/xliff-profile-icuresourcebundle-1.2.htm. Rodolfo suggested that we release this before XLIFF 2.0.  Bryan commented that it should go into the current OASIS templates.

11/ Any Other Business
