Bryan, Asanka, David Filip, Lucía, Yves.
 
1. Re-chartering the subcommittee
David: Rodolfo made us aware that the mandate of the subcommittee will expire soon. David will prepare it for next TC. If anybody has any suggestions please send them through the mailing list. Any objections to the extension of the mandate?
The discussion could be done in the mailing list, not on the phone meeting.
2. Progress of SotA report – Lucía
David: good progress on the completion of the survey. We have extended one more week the deadline. We are expecting two more answers this week.
3. XLIFF Symposium. Logistics
I had some talk with Dave Lewis. I have made two calls for the participation in scientific committee, and I got answers from Yves Savourel, Lucía, Jesús Torres, David.
Bryan, could you help this year too?
Yes, I can.
I was trying to recruit Uwe and Joachim. Do you have any other names in mind?
Logistics: we confirm with Dave Lewis that we are not afraid with the collocation with TAUS. We are talking with Locworld people about the premises. The registration fees will go through LocWorld organisers. If we do not get cheaper prices for the premises we might have to ask TC members to pay a nominal fee for the technical meeting.
We should make the call for proposals rather sooner than later. I asked Lucía to send me previous years´ models. I will prepare the text for this year based on that. I will try to differentiate the type of proposal: presentations and other type of proposals. I would encourage people to send showcases and case studies. Especially we are looking for demo showcases for the preconference day where we want to address a broader audience. I would stress the collaboration and orchestration of multiple standards. 
I have still to talk with the organisers to discuss the integration of our programme in the main conference Programme.
Any questions or proposals for the call for proposals?
Asanka: I will present my research and I can help with the web developing.
David: Do you want to prepare a presentation of that research for the next subcommittee?
Asanka: I am working on writing it, maybe after writing it I can present it.
David: We can take it offline and decide when you want to present it.
Lucía: About the face-to-face meetings, if the renting of the premises is very high, we can explore other option.
Yves: Other option is to find a sponsor or contact a company that can host the meetings.
David: Good idea, we will explore other options. The only reason for not hosting it somewhere else (such as MS campus in Redmond) is that the transportation cost can get high if people stay close to Bell Harbor in downtown, where the rest of the conference will take place.
Other business:
Bryan: the TC approved the liaison. Do we need to do something on that?
David: It is very good that the liaison is formed. We might consider soon having a report from that. Yves, do you want to say something about the LT-Web liaison?
Yves: Just that there seems to be good use for custom namespaces.
David: I will try to revive the profile definition discussion.
 
David: Meeting adjourned.
