Minutes: 1/Roll Call >> (in KAVI) 2/Review and accept previous meeting minutes as formal record, amending if necessary: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xliff/event.php?event_id=2743&day=1068548400 >> Mat proposed acceptance; David seconded 3/Discuss and agree to process for how minor spec revisions roll up into Committee Specification. Options: -formally vote for Committee Spec each time a minor change occurs -regular periodic vote, either bimonthly or quarterly -other option? >> This discussion revolved around how we would handle the errors that are found in the specification both before submitting the 1.1 specification to OASIS as a standard and once 1.1 became an OASIS Standard. In the former situation it was agreed that we would make an effort to discover and correct errors prior to submitting the spec to OASIS. In the latter situation, it was agreed that we would create an errata that could be accessed from our website. There was discussion as to how often the errata would be rolled-up into the official specification. However, as the actual published document would be the OASIS Specification and any change would require resubmittal of the specification or creation of a committee specification that conflicted with the official OASIS Standard, it was agreed that the errata would exist until a new version of the specification was being prepared, such as a 2.0 version. >> It was requested that as errors are found they are noted on the XLIFF TC email list and that members become familiar with the issue prior to the next TC meeting. The agenda for the TC meetings will have a regular scheduled item for resolution of any noted errors on the list. 4/Feedback from LRC Standards convention from last week >> Tony and Enda reported on their attendance. There was significant discussion of XLIFF at this convention, both positive and negative. Two problems brought forth are that XLIFF is another format that vendors must add support for, i.e. rather than simplifying the list it adds to it, and the issue of the lack of canonical representation of various formats makes for reduced interoperability. >> XLIFF is being adopted, though, and there is pressure on tool vendors to support it. 5/Face to Face (F2F) - 8AM EST / 1PM GMT / 5AM PST Friday 12 Dec, Washington DC -Review/tweak Agenda (http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200311/msg00009.html) >> Tony has received no feedback to date on proposed aganda. >> We reviewed the agenda and it seemed acceptable to all. There was a brief discussion about certification of implementations but no resolution. -Expected attendance >> Tony will create a ballot of who will attend physically and who will attend via teleconference. -Meeting logistics - dialup, guests, voting, etc. >> No discussion 6/Any other business >> None 7/Next meeting is the Face to Face in DC, Friday 12 Dec 2003 at 1pmGMT/8am EST/5am PST >> Meeting adjourned
