Minutes: 1) Roll call: attendance recorded in Kavi 2) Previous meeting minutes: Tony moves to approve the minutes, Andrzej seconds and none objects. Minutes approved. 3) Announcements a. Bryan congratulated the TC and thanked everybody for achieving OASIS Standard status. b. TC roles discussed. Rodolfo should contact Bryan by email if he accepts the Secretary role. c. Eric Mader reported that ICU Representation Guide is almost ready and was asked to upload the documents and samples to Kavi. Rodolfo will check the examples and provide feedback on next meeting. d. Andrzej Zydron explained OAXAL, its importance and its relationship with XLIFF. He is working together with JoAnn Hackos in the creation of an OASIS TC that would work on gluing together all open standards related to localization. e. Eric Mader worked on providing access to IBM’s conferencing system for the XLIFF TC. It will be necessary to check whether it accepts Skype calls or not. As an alternative, the free conference system used today can be still used in future calls. Skype conferencing was discarded as conferencing option. 4) A certain number of inconsistencies between the XLIFF Schema and the specifications were found and the best way to publish the fixes was discussed. It may be possible to prepare a minor update and vote it at TC level. Doug has fixed the Schemas and will send them to TC. It will be necessary to check with Mary McRae if a minor release is enough. 5) Rodolfo suggested adding the possibility to split and merge segments in XLIFF 2.0. This will be discussed in the future. Magnus commented on work done in the Segmentation SC. 6) Call dismissed.
