Review of work process proposal
========================
Discuss of
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-geo/2003Jan/0044.html

Summary: It's difficult to know whether the structure proposed will work
or not until we get some content together.  Some people may prefer to
submit ideas in a different format.  We should try to impose as much
structure as possible to help us to merge with WAI techniques and
present different views, including checklists.  

The basic process outline seems reasonable.  We should establish a list
of topic owners, who will develop a particular area.

ACTION: Richard, create a list of section owners.


Content development
===============
We should add a section on how to layout pages.

We should also consider issues relating to providing for multilingual
communities.

Title of authoring techniques doc changed to say 'internationalization'.


Glossary
=======
We will put off the discussion about how to put together a glossary
until discussions between W3C groups advances further.  In the meantime
we will collect terms that ought to be in a glossary.  Tex will own
this.



Next meeting:
==========
Same time, same bridge, next week.
