    * status update
    ODF 1.2 pre-draft3 has been uploaded

    Rob and Patrick have proposed a lightweight comment tracking process. See
    
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200705/msg00074.html
    
    They further volunteered to establish this process, and to take over the 
    task of tracking the comments.
    
    The attending TC members unanimously accepted that Rob and Patrick take 
    over these roles.
    
    * proposals
    
    The TC unanimously agreed to the following proposals:
    
    - Chart range addresses:
       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200704/msg00001.html
    
    - Text Clarification for widows
       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200704/msg00026.html
    
    The following proposal was discussed
    
    - Chart Data Label Auto Position
       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200704/msg00002.html
    
    An alternative approach has been suggested by David Faure:
    
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200704/msg00003.html
    
    For that reason, the original proposal has been withdrawn. David will 
    work on the details of the alternative proposal.
    
    * Interop TC/SC
    
    The idea of an interop TC/SC was discussed. One idea that was discussed 
    was that it may analyze the specification similar to what the A11y SC 
    did to come up with some recommendations. Other ideas were defining 
    profiles or recommendation for the use of micro-formats.
    
    The time when ODF 1.2 is finished was identified as a possible starting 
    point for an interoperability TC or SC.
    
    The discussion was adjourned.
