    The attending TC members unanimously accepted the minutes.
    
    
    * Second ODF 1.0 Errata Document/Defect report
    
    Rob will update the public comment review spreadsheet with the most 
    recent comments. Dennis will then draft an initial response for the 2nd 
    SC34 defect report.
    
    
    * Status Open Formula draft
    
    Eike will make some edits on the current draft. When this is done he
    will hand-over the draft to Patrick by an e-mail to the TC's mailing list.
    
    
    * ODF 1.2 Public Review/Committee draft planing
    
    The TC unanimously agreed that the due date for casting votes for the
    consideration of proposals for ODF 1.2, as proposed in
    
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200812/msg00091.html ,
    
    will be extended until the end of December, the 15th, 2008 (PT).
    
    The TC further unanimously agreed the following:
    
    1. The TC will consider exactly those 5 proposals for inclusion into ODF
    that got the most votes, if all other proposals got less votes than
    each of these 5 individually.
    
    2. If this is not the case, then the TC will consider exactly those 6
    proposals for inclusion into ODF that got the most votes, provided that
    all other proposals then got less votes than each of these 6 individually.
    
    3. If the is also not the case, the TC chairs will decide how many
    proposals are considered, and which.
    
    
    * Discussion: Use xml:id in custom slide show proposal
    
    http://wiki.oasis-open.org/office/use_draw:id_in_custom_slide_shows
    
    The proposal may be unnecessary. The discussion of the proposal was
    adjourned.
    
    
    * Discussion: table:protected proposal
    
    http://wiki.oasis-open.org/office/Table-Protected
    
    It has been clarified that an appendix of deprecated features may be
    reasonable, but that this is a more general topic that is not part of
    the discussed proposal.
    
    No further questions were asked.
    
    
    * Discussion: meta data proposals
    
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200812/msg00086.html
    
    It has been clarified that a GRDDL stylesheet would not be normative. It
    could be included in an appendix or provided as a separate document.
    
    It has further been clarified that the proposal adds xml:id only to
    those elements for which it appeared reasonable to attach metadata.
    
    No further questions were asked.
    
    
    * Further disposition of comments from the public comment               list
    
    http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=30131
    
    #187: Delegated to Formula SC
    #188: Resolved in ODF 1.2 by removal of default values and removal of
    the reference to the RNG DTD Compatibility specification. A resolution
    in ODF 1.0/1.1 seems not be reasonable because this would require to add
    the default values to the descriptions of all the attributes. This would 
    be much more effort as in the ODF 1.2 specification because the ODF 
    1.0/1.1 specifications have not be restructured like the ODF 1.2 draft.
    #189: ODF 1.2 will not reference the RNG DTD compatibility specification
    any more. The reported problem therefore can be considered to be at 
    least partially resolved. A resolution of the reported conflicts itself 
    seems not to be possible because of an incompatibility between the 
    xml:id, RNG and RNG DTD specifications. Michael accepted an action item 
    to summarize the status of the research on this to the TC.
    
    * Adjournment
    
    The meeting was adjourned at 5:05pm CET
