    * ODF 1.2
    
    Michael proposed the 25th of March as a due date for proposals regarding
    amendments of the conformance clauses for ODF 1.2 part 1. The TC
    unanimously agreed to that due date.
    
    * Defect Classification
    
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200903/msg00057.html
    
    Rob's proposal for classifying defects was discussed.
    
    Michael proposed to adopt the classification immediately, but to revise
    it if it turn out that it does not work in practice. The TC unanimously
    agreed to this.
    
    * Conforming OpenDocument document types
    
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200903/msg00069.html
    
    Rob's proposal for adding conformance classes for the individual
    document types was discussed. No concerns regarding adding the
    additional conformance classes was mentioned, but only feedback
    regarding some details. Rob will revise the proposal based on the
    feedback he received on the list and in the call.
    
    * Discussion of public comments:
    
    - 205: The suggested reference http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/
    seems to be appropriate, but should be turned into a bibliographic
    reference.
    - 206: Formula issue, already resolved
    - 207: (Formula) proposal
    - 208: (Incompatible) name changes will not be considered for ODF 1.2 as
    well as for ODF 1.0 and 1.1 erratas, but may be considered for ODF-Next.
    - 209: (Formula) proposal
    - 210: The TC was in agreement that behavior that is implementation
    defined in ODF 1.0 and 1.1 cannot be defined in an ODF 1.0/1.1 errata
    since this would be a substantial change. The TC was further in
    agreement that the mentioned issue is resolved in ODF 1.2. Since this
    resolution seemed not to be sufficient for all TC members, it was
    discussed whether additional actions would be possible and reasonable.
    It was stated that vendors in any case could document the behavior they
    have implemented. The discussion was adjourned.
    
    
    * Adjournment
    
    The meeting was adjourned at 5:05pm CET
