Discussion
==========

- Discuss Goutam's input. 
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-i18n-its/2005JulSep/0050.html>
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-i18n-its/2005JulSep/0049.html>
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-its/2005JulSep/0084.html>

We first discussed the input about writing styles.
The consensus was that part of the examples could be use in the requirement, as for example, the marking of content of religious
text would be a good complement to the existing example.
-> YS to modify the wiki page to reflect this.

We then discuss the different input about part-of-speech and related schemas.
YS was of the opinion they may be out of scope as they would be too specialized.
AZ express the view that having POS and related information within content would be quite important. More linguistic information
will allow better processing of large volume of translatable text.
TF concurred.
The consensus was to create a new requirement page for this topic as it is important to note it even if the WG may not have the time
and resource to tackle it soon.
-> YS to create a wiki page to start the requirement, and have GS in the wiki user list so he can make changes.


- Indicator of metrics
<http://esw.w3.org/topic/its0505WordCount>

YS noted that the summary was more like a description of the issues in some parts. A more condensed sentence would be better.
TF concurred and noted we should look at this from the view point of the schema designer.
AZ made some changes online.
The consensus was that it looked better.
See the new wording: http://esw.w3.org/topic/its0505WordCount


- Limited Impact
<http://esw.w3.org/topic/its0505LimitImpact>

TF noted the presence of its prefix in the bottom example.
-> YS to modify it.


- Naming Scheme
<http://esw.w3.org/topic/its0505ReqNamingScheme>

YS asked if the last comment was answering MI concern.
The consensus was that it was OK.


Other Business
==============

- We briefly discuss the F2F meeting.
Neither TF or AZ will be able to make it.
DS and Ys will be there.
AZ ask about teleconferences during that time.
YS: there will be one teleconference at 14:00UTC (same time as the normal teleconference) every day of the meeting.

- Next teleconference (last before the F2F meeting) is Sep-14, same time.
