ISSUE-35 (aria-processing): ACTION-138 on Steve Faulkner:

This action was opened on August 22, originally due 2009-08-31, then 
2009-09-10, then 2009-09-24, then 2009-10-08.  We need a realistic due date.

ISSUE-56 (urls-webarch) ACTION-137 on Larry Masinter:

This action was opened on August 21, originally due 2009-08-31, then 
2009-09-01, then 2009-09-08, then 2009-09-17, then 2009-09-24, then 
2009-09-28, then 2009-10-21.  We need a realistic due date.

The F2F is likely to be a target rich environment for participants who 
would be interested in discussing this topic.

ISSUE-55 (head-profile): on Manu Sporny:

We had a first draft on 27 Sept, and discussion continued to 14 Oct and 
then ceased.  Any new status?

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Oct/subject.html#msg414

ISSUE-73 (predefined-voc): ACTION-123 on Sam Ruby:

Given that the predefined vocabularies have moved out of the spec, I no 
longer see my action as relevant.  Given that the originator has 
indicated that this satisfies his concern, I suggest that the issue 
itself be closed:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Oct/0114.html

ISSUE-74 (canvas-accessibility): ACTION-133 on Richard Schwerdtfeger:

This is not due this week, in fact, it is due 17 Dec.  Even so, any 
possibility we can we have an update?

Related: we have a draft Canvas spec, along with informal rationale by 
Doug Sheppers and Maciej, with support by Microsoft, and a draft:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Oct/0747.html

It is unclear how the draft relates to Maciej's statement, and, in fact, 
what the rationale is.  How should we track this?  Should we start with 
a bug or an issue?  How about a change proposal?

---

ACTION-127 on Paul Cotton: establish process for "official WG response" 
to other WG's RFC on LC drafts

Status update?

---

ACTION-155 on Maciej: Send CFC for review of decision policy

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Oct/1034.html

No response yet.

---

Change Proposal: 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Oct/0949.html

Does this proposal need to be revised based on feedback?

Is it time to call for counter-proposals?

---

No response yet.

---

ISSUE-74 (Microdata/RDFa) - Chairs Solicit *COUNTER* Proposals

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Oct/0773.html

The request for rationale for keeping Microdata in the spec appears to 
have gotten some mild pushback.

Status of Task Forces
       a. Testing Task Force
       b. HTML Accessibility Task Force

Current status is that both are started, with the HATF lacking an HTMLWG 
liaison.  The chairs are still discussing how to proceed with this issue.

Any other actions the chairs need to focus on?

Any (early) status either TF wishes to report on?
