Meetings:
With daylight savings clock change, time moves to one hour later subject to no objections. RI to email notice. 

Review of GEO Work Items:
Addressing of comments on SM's localization/globalization FAQ delayed.

Discussions:
Browser functionality:
- Uniscribe issue in IE. DC to send information to RR.
- good RSS feature in Firefox 1.0
- Bidi in title bar. Neither tools tips nor title bar gets directionality. Dependent on application or OS? 
- Scrollbar issue: when dir attribute in HTML - which is best practice - IE moves scrollbar to left-hand side and right-aligns HTML page. On RI's trip to Morocco (attended by NT), one group meeting felt it should be UI not document-dependent. A further question is what happens to scrollbars within a web document. 
- Useful CSS Lang attribute used by Firefox.
- CSS 3 properties, but standard still in flux.
New members required.
Some outstanding tests for Safari and IE Mac, especially 'hreflang', for Techniques document to be published Friday.
