http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/Draft_DITA_1.2_Specification_Review_Assignments
The DITA TC tracks information about the DITA 1.2 reviews on a Wiki page
that only members of the DITA TC can edit. We need to devise a process to
ensure 

that the work of Adoption Committee members is accurately logged on this
page.
Action: Committee members who have sent Robert Anderson comments about the
DITA 1.2 Language Specification, let Gershon know. He will update the
review 

assignments page on the DITA TC Wiki.

are willing to write a user-friendly topic about a DITA 1.2 feature. She
added the 

names of people who volunteered at last week's meeting.
Action: Adoption TC members need to review the list and make sure that it
is correct. They should sign up if they have not already done so (and have
the time 

and inclination to do this work).

11. CALL FOR USERS
OASIS needs a list of companies or organizations that intend to use one or
more DITA 1.2 features, such as the new image scale-to-fit feature. OASIS
plans to 

make this list public before or around the time of the DITA 1.2 release.
Don Day suggested that the Adoption Committee keep a running list and have
it be 

part of the regular agenda.
Action: Kris will create a Wiki page for Adoption TC; Gershon will create
the Wiki page for the DITA TC. The two pages will reference each other.
