                                            ([agenda] agreed to, 
                                            rest chair's convention) 
Chair:  when sending out an updated agenda, use following format, 
        "n" = update number, 1st update == 2, etc. 
  [w3c sml][agenda][ver n] yyyy-mm-dd SML   in subject of email 
                                            ([agenda] agreed to,

Scribe: read entire agenda, your "to do"s around the scribe list are 
        time-sequenced so there is less to remember.

Proposed Agenda:

1.2. Selection of Scribe based on list below
   New scribes see: 
   - Scribe Quick Start Guide 
http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/%7Echeckout%7E/2002/scribe/scribedoc.htm 
   - Scribe FAQ 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-ws-policy/2006Oct/0001.html 
   - Instructions (steps "n-...") at the end of this agenda for reviewing
     and sending out minutes

   - PLEASE make any new Actions fully self-describing so they do not 
     require the minutes as context.  We found it awkward in the past to
     require going back to the minutes for context.

2. New Work

2.1. Triage bugs with no keywords or target 

3. Existing Work

3.1. Review and attempt to reach consensus on other non-editorial bugs 
     targeted for the next draft.

     Within each cluster, typically we look at them in this order
           "decided" (after the 2-week grace period for responses ends)
           "needsReview" (either we have consensus, 
                      it's no longer needsReview, 
                      or the editors need to re-spin the proposed text)
           "hasProposal" 
           "externalComments + reviewerNotSatisfied" - even if closed, 
                                                       e.g. 5543, 5562
           "externalComments + neither( reviewerNotSatisfied 
                                      , reviewerSatisfied )" 
                          aka "reach out again?"
           others

3.2. Item from Sandy 
   - Before leaving on vacation, Sandy noted that COSMOS's confusion
     over the correct reading of 16/17 (no schema documents in SMLIF)
         case suggests we might wish to clarify the spec.

3.3. Test case discussion - COSMOS responses to SML comments
   - Using line numbers from latest available XLSX 
     http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sml/2008Nov/0053.html
   - 16, 17: revised testcases available at 
     https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=258673
   - 32, 44: revised testcases available at 
     https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=258673
         (sic - same as 16, 17)

3.4. Test case discussion - Ginny's XLSX question from her email

3.5. Initial feedback on draft implementation report (html version)
   - Not available yet, will be emailed to wg prior to telecon.
 
4. Epilog

4.1. Scribe: update scribe list below in this meeting's minutes, for use
     in the next meeting's agenda.  Update the list below and sort it 
         (LRU), leaving people who will be out for an extended period near 

         the bottom to keep the names of draftees for the current meeting 
         near the top, so when the next agenda goes out people will know 
if 
         their name is at or near the top of the list to scribe next. 

Last Scribe Date        Member Name         Regrets pending 
2008-05-22              Lynn, James         Until further notice 
2008-10-29              Pandit, Kumar        12/18, 1/8 
2008-11-13              Smith, Virginia      12/18 
2008-11-20              Gao, Sandy           12/18

Exempt                  Arwe, John 
Exempt                  MSM 

4.2. Scribe: follow the steps in the Scribe Quick Start Guide through 
     "Generate minutes" 
     http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/%7Echeckout%7E/2002/scribe/scribedoc.htm 
     Also issue the command "rrsagent, make log public" since we are a 
         public working group.

     DO NOT use tools that significantly change the source html, like 
         Word, to do your editing.  Those tools make compare tools to 
sanity
     check the scribe's edits unusable even though it renders fine 
     visually (even here, some like Word remove W3C style sheets so it 
     renders with subtle differences).

4.3. Scribe: (optional, but most often followed)
     Send the original and updated minutes to the meeting chair as an 
     editorial check before sending to the full list.  Assume the chair 
     will use a compare tool.
 
4.4. Scribe: send the minutes to the public mailing list 
     After the meeting, follow the conventions we have agreed on within
         the wg to help people search the email archives more effectively, 

         namely: 
     [w3c sml][minutes] yyyy-mm-dd SML    in subject of email 
                                          ([minutes] agreed to, 
                                          rest chair's convention) 
     As with agendas, if minutes are updated include a [ver n] "tag" as 
         well.

4.5. Chair
     After meeting, update good standing list
