3/ Current XLIFF business
  3.1. Conformance criteria status (David)

David: Not sure this is part of the "current XLIFF business"
Bryan: to me: all admin regardless version
David: no sure understand diff between current and 2.0
B: current is more "admin" things, not necessarily part of 2.0
David: think conformance is part of 2.0
Also: not a priority (and had no time).
So, should it be address *now*?
Bryan: agree it's more a 2.0 item.
-> item will be move to 2.0.
David: think status is resolved for now and will need to work on it when we have 2.0 features.
No dissents


  3.2. Move our spec into Docbook  (Bryan) 
      (http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/201007/msg00009.html)

Bryan: Under way. Some progress done.
Will hand off to R when done.


  3.3. ISO/OASIS XLIFF - XLIFF as an ISO standard (Peter)

Peter: Talked with Jamie Clark: several ways to move.
My understanding: Work done in OASIS TC and both accept/approve standard
It means if an ISO committee member wants to be involved directly s/he should join the TC.
Bryan: agree
Peter: will work on a schedule for 1.2
Then 2.0 should be matter of ballot
Christian (through Yves): do we have some record of the interoperability event?
Peter: we have an email saying they viewed the presentation with B/R/JoAnn as that event.
Other events can be done if needed.


  3.4. MIME-type for XLIFF (Christian) 
     (http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/201010/msg00004.html)

  3.5. "XLIFF at recent "W3C Workshop: The Multilingual Web - Where are We?"  (Christian)
     (http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/201011/msg00000.html)

  7. (new) 2nd Annual XLIFF Symposium in Poland (Peter)

Peter: talked to R/etc. about where to host next XLIFF symposium.
TM Europe would be happy to host it for 2011.
2011 year theme is standards.
Would be in Wednesday Sep-28 as pre-conf event of TM Europe
Request for volunteer for the TM Europe committee (Dimitra and Lucia volunteered)
David: great idea to have it for TM Europe. And volunteer too.
Peter: would like to have Tony as well in the conference.
Peter: Moves "Proposes the TC accept the offer of TM Europe to host the 2011 XLIFF symposium on Wednesday Sep-28"
Yves: seconds
Ballot: all seven in favor.
Dimitra: the more members in the review committee the better.



  8. (new) Gathering common extension points from 
     existing XLIFF Tools as a guide for 2.0 features (Bryan, Thomas)

Bryan: Thomas proposed to gather extension info to see what is need for 2.0
David: Collection + analysis will show needed features
Bryan: Possibly do this at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XLIFF
Also ask Micah Bly input as well.
Also to involved more: may have the thread in the users list rather than the TC list.
David: should also monitor "Interoperability Now" (http://interoperability-now.org/tiki/tiki-index.php)
Peter: idea is to start with small group (to be more efficient), and move from there.
David: can we see the guide?
Peter: Will ask to get the guide and pass it to the group.
Will have an open-source approach.


4/ Sub Committee Reports
  1. Inline text (Yves)

Yves (though Andrew): Working on the inline codes representation for storing the native data.
Bryan: maybe some non-inline tag issue will have to be address.


Bryan: Remarks for 2.0:
If anyone wants to take ownership of Asgeir's item it would help.
Need also to update feature tracking (http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/XLIFF2.0/FeatureTracking) 
from the dashboard (http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/XLIFF2.0), to have a single mechanism.
SC requirement approach seemed a good way to move forward: may be useful for 2.0 itself too.
The sooner we get 2.0 done the better, but it needs to reflect real world requirements
