Kirk/Kumar, it appears you may be scribing this week. 

Chair: when sending out an agenda, use following format 
  [w3c sml][agenda] yyyy-mm-dd SML          in subject of email
([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] [ver n] agreed to, rest chair's convention) 
Scribe: read entire agenda, I restructured it so your "to do"s around
the scribe list are time-sequenced 
  i.e. less to remember

Proposed Agenda: 

1. Roll call (present/regrets/absent) 

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
<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
<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.

   - CG dinner 10/29 (for chairs) 
   - SML wg dinner 10/27 (tentative) 
          
5. Action items: goes faster if you update yours before the meeting... 
   http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/sml/
<http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/sml/>  

6. Test case discussion. 
   Review updated test plan draft. 
   Email concrete lists (3) of test cases that need to be added,
deleted, changed, respectively 
   in advance of the meeting, so everyone has it when the call starts. 
   Other concrete proposals, e.g. test metadata and/or implementation
report syntax, happily accepted. 

n-5. Review bugs with no keywords or target (none as of this writing!) 

n-4. 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 

n-3. 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 
2008-07-10              McCarthy, Julia     Until further notice 
2008-09-11              Wilson, Kirk 
2008-09-18              Smith, Virginia     10/9 
2008-09-25              Kumar, Pandit 
2008-10-02              Gao, Sandy 
Exempt                  Arwe, John          10/9

Exempt                  MSM                 10/9 10/16 

n-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
<http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/%7Echeckout%7E/2002/scribe/scribedoc.htm>  
   Also issue the command "rrsagent, make log public" since we are a
public workgroup. 

   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). 

n-1. 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. 
    
n. 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. 

---- 
n+1. Chair 
     After meeting, update good standing list
