    Hi Jan & Jan,

    Maybe one of you, or Florian, can help answer some questions:

    1) What are the planned formal deliverables of the DIN translation WG?
    2) Is there a public archive of mailing list discussions for the WG?  Meeting minutes?
    3) How are decisions made for what is included in the report?  I assume liaisons would not have voting rights?
    4) By when are you expected to complete your report?  
    5) Would it be possible for the ODF TC to review a current draft of the report?  Is there something posted publicly?
    6) Who are the current members of the WG, and their affiliations?  Is this posted someplace?

    I think having answers to the above would be useful to the ODF TC members, to help us evaluate whether a liaison relationship makes sense here.  

    I also hope that you appreciate the fact that there are many requests for our attention, from ISO, from the ODF Adoption TC, from other OASIS TC's, from ODF implementors, from conferences seeking speakers, etc. We're also working hard on completing ODF 1.2.  So I need to make sure that a liaison relationship would be the best use of our scarce time.  

    Regards,

    -Rob
