3. Assessment: readiness for Committee Draft (CD)
- Core Specification status
- DTD/Schema status
- Language Reference
- There were several questions / contingent issues --
- Can we vote on these drafts in the form they are
currently in? Is this the final form? Are there
formatting issues that need to be fixed?
- There are some comments in certain places that don't
seem appropriate. We will vote on the drafts
contingent upon the removal of these comments.
- Will there be a .chm version of the files?
4. If in consent to do so, do the first CD vote.

unanimous. WE HAVE A COMMITTEE DRAFT! However, note
the contigencies listed above.
5. If in consent to do so, approve the CD for public review.
- We plan to provide the following versions --
- HTML Web
- HTML Help
- PDF
- It was moved and seconded to approve for public
review, with the source corrections as requested.
- VOTE RESULTS -- We have approval by 13 of 19 --
unanimous, with the source corrections as requested.
6. AOB?
- How do we manage incoming comments resulting from the
public review?
- Someone needs to figure out how the public can
submit comments. AR for Don to ask Mary
Macrae about all these things.
- It would be best if every input we get must
receive a response and be tracked. Thus we
need a single focal point for receiving
comments.
- Recommendation -- All comments to be
forwarded to the TC Comments list, and also to
be CC'd to Michael Priestley.
- Let's take a vacation next week. :)
- Any questions/issues, use the TC list.
