    Discussed Topics
    -----------------
    
    Meeting Schedule:
    last call this year will be Dec. 12th. First call next year will be Jan. 
    9th.
    
    Main topic for the next call will be  meta data (proposal from Adobe)
    
    Update on ASC (Accessibility Sub-Committee):
    6 Members so far.
    The SC members are currently working on clearing up all barriers that 
    would prevent participants with disabilities to join the SC, before 
    starting actual discussion
    - ensure all web pages are accessible etc.
    - adobe is helping with accessible version of membership PDF form
    Robert is leading this effort and will update the TC.
    
    Discussion on Object Position Hints:
    Florian and David have been discussing the issue. While the proposed 
    feature would solve some immediate problems, the solution has a number 
    of drawbacks:
    - depends on all preceding paragraphs and page-breaks to happen in the 
    same way as in the application that wrote out the hint.
    - if an application uses this to turn a paragraph anchored frame into a 
    page anchored frame, document round-trip suffers.
    
    Florian suggested, that it would make sense to handle such problems, by 
    defining certain subsets of OpenDocuments, which exclude certain 
    features not understood by a certain class of applications, e.g. web 
    browsers, mobile devices etc.
    It would then be an applications responsibility to guide the user in 
    creating document that conform to a given profile.
    David was of the opinion, that such a measure would rather complicate 
    matters when used to solve the problem at hand.
    There is no resolution now. Discussion will continue (mailing list).
    
    
    New Action Items:
    -----------------
    Robert: follow up on making ASC accessible
