    Discussion of Work Package 1.2 First Level Elements
    ---------------------------------------------------
    - The TC unanimously accepted to remove the "office:class" attribute
    from the "office:document" elements. The are not required any longer,
    because new 'genre' elements have been introduced as children of the
    "body" element.
    - The TC postponed a decision about the names of the "genre" elements
    until the next TC meeting.
    
    Discussion of Work Package 2 Meta information
    ---------------------------------------------
    The TC discussed the extensibility of meta information. Various
    suggestion have been made on the TC's list, including the possibility to
    add arbitrary elements to the meta information as well as only extending
    the existing "meta:user-defined" elements to support other types than
    strings. It has also been discussed whether user defined meta
    information has to be addressable from other parts of documents, for
    instance from fields. The discussion will be continued in the next TC
    meeting.
    
    Next TC meeting
    ---------------
    There will be no phone meeting on Monday, the 17th of February. The next
    TC meeting is the face-to-face meeting in Menlo Park, February the
