2/ Bryan 
Schnabal was welcomed as a new member of the TC.

3/ Minutes of 
the last meeting were read and agreed. John proposed them as a correct record 
and David seconded this.

4/ We noted 
Oasis new procedure for reviewing specs. This will now be done monthly 
instead of quarterly.

5/ XLIFF work in 
progress
Formal Extensibility - Yves mentioned that only John had sent him a 
list of values he would like included. The deadline for submitting values is 
October 9th. Christian has suggested that we should look at the XUL 
specification and see if this or some of it can be used.
The issue of 
validating XLIFF if it uses another namespace was mentioned. Yves suggested one 
possibility was to not provide validation for values. It was decided that 
Jonathan and Peter would write to Karl Best and ask how other Oasis groups deal 
with this issue and we would decide on this issue at our next 
meeting.
Embedded XLIFF - There was some discussion as to how the 
localisation directives proposal will work. Enda volunteered to try and use 
this with another schema to see how effective it would be.  Gerard was 
also asked to send the TC his thoughts on embedded XLIFF before the next 
meeting.
Embedded XLIFF will be the main topic at the next 
meeting.
Context-group - John has considered sending a 
proposal  to review the context-group element but has decided against 
this at present.

6/ Schedule review and 
progress
It was agreed that October 9th would be the date for publishing the 
next version of the working draft. We will aim to have release candidate 1 by 
October 29 but this is dependent on resolving all outstanding issues before 
then. It was agreed that as the Embedded XLIFF (Localisation directives) was the 
issue which needed most work and would be the primary agenda item for our next 
meeting. 

7/ Face to face 
meeting
This will take place on Monday November 4th. We will have a test run 
of the video conferencing facility on the preceding Friday. Jonathan has offered 
his teleconference facilities for the face to face meeting.
Yves and 
Christian's presentation to the LISA meeting will be on November 
6th.

8/ LRC

this.
