Passed on from DITA TC meeting

Su-Laine wrote a Tools and DITA Awareness topic. From the DITA TC minutes: Consensus that it won't be part of the spec. Jeff had some comments. What is next step? Adoption TC?

On Hold: ITEM Discuss UNESCO and International Atomic Energy Agency liaison efforts

From Tony Self: For some time, I have been trying to get Swinburne University involved in OASIS, and have finally made some progress. They might be able to add something to the UNESCO venture, so I wanted to keep tabs on what’s happening in that area. I will keep you informed of developments at my end.
