Comments
DR - Quorum establishes with the 10 attending members. 32 members had registered for participation in the TC.
KB –TC process states that any/all registered participants absent on the call should be marked as probationary for future meeting
ALL – travel disruptions (NY plane crash) may have contributed
DR – consulted with Karl on procedure around this being mitigating circumstances and TC’s ability to hold multiple consecutive meeting to in-effect re-instate those with “a good excuse”
YK – would be nice to get visibility of who was on the subscription list in the first place
Action Item – DR to send registered attendees to list
Action Item - DR to consult with members not on the call to double check involvement
Review of TC Process & Review of OASIS IPR Policy
DR – Ran through ppt of OASIS TC process and IPR
HL – Corrected basis for disclosing restricted rights. Protected works can be submitted as part of an OASIS specification - the issue is around the disclosure that the submitted works are protected in some form
DR – Recommend that all participants unfamiliar with OASIS policy for IPR review on site
List participation vote
KB – explained that most TC’s leave the list open to OASIS members
HL – Motion to leave the PSTC list open to OASIS members regardless of their participation in official PSTC business

Volunteers for open positions
ALL – general agreement that this item should be postponed and carried out on the list when we hope to have wider participation
Calendar for committee business
KB – qualified OASIS rules around timing and numbers of meetings
DR – noted possible convenient venue and timing for a first F2F around OASIS Interop 6-7 December and XML 2001 9-14 December – both in Orlando
HL – might be impractical to make arrangements this year
ALL – general agreement that this issue could be addressed on the list

JB – seconded

Formation of subcommittees
ALL – general agreement that this issue could not be addressed until the PSTC Charter had been fully ratified and that more work was required.
JA – suggested a date for concluding the charter – before the next meeting 11/26 as we needed a fast resolution in-order to bring the use-cases to a close
HL – suggested a date of December 15th for submission of use cases
Motion to adjourn
