Magnus raised the issue of having the work of the segmentation group as part of the deliverables. This is referenced in the text but does not have a date assigned. It was agreed to assign the June 21st to the deliverable, ‘implementation guide for document based content’. There were also some minor text changes made. Christian asked what is meant by the .NET representation guide as opposed to a RESEX representation guides. It was suggested that the .NET representation guide should be change to RESEX representation guide and this could be put into the nice to have rather than a definite deliverable. Christian suggested that this would be a very useful thing to have as part of going to an OASIS standard. Florian is the main person with expertise in this area. We will also try and see if we can more people to work on this with him. It was agreed that the charter would be amended and send out to the TC by Tony. If there is no feedback by COB today he will create a ballot for this. This ballot will end by our next meeting. There were no issues with the short descriptions. 7/ TC Membership: a/Departing members: Yves Savourel and John Reid.

Andrzej has volunteered to taking this role. b/Individual Membership Renewals: OASIS IPR / Membership policy changes have not been approved as of yet, so anyone with individual membership up for renewal soon please proceed with renewing.
