  3.) QA Framework Specifications publication
	Lead: Karl


(lh) should date be 22 nov?
(dh) yes, QAH is not published at last call, but as a note. Notes don't 
have last call
(lh) you recommend not to create distraction by calling QAH last call?
(dh) yes
(TB) changes since last call supposed to not be substantial
(lh) yes
(kd) QAH has been decided to be a note

(lh) accepts the resolution on issue number 7

(kd) proposal to remove the two examples, considering that the 
documents are informative, not normative. (5 good practice a)

(kd) 5 Good Practice C: write sample code or tests; do you agree to 
remove these things and add them later on if we find use cases, or not?

AI, today, karl to write prose for the examples wrt. web ontologies (5 
good practices)

(kd) added some legends to the graphics, put a legend to make it 
clearer, is it ok?

(dm) (explaining a bit more his email) 
http://www.w3.org/mid/OFE2FDD223.EE2F8EBC-ON85256F4F.005719FC@lotus.com
(kd) Discussion going to deep into details about what are modules, 
levels and profiles.
(kd) the meaning of the diagram is to show one possible way to organize 
the technology; still don't see the objection
(dm) the diagram show a number of modules, defined by the WG. there's a 
conformance notion for each module. you had a sentence in the legends 
saying that module "e" was not about conformance.
(dh) indeed a bit confusing
(kd) just remove this part of the sentence?
(dm) accepts "module e is an optional module of the technology"
(dh) the idea is just to illustrate some, not all, possible cases
(kd) agreement to remove the ssecond part of the sentence, about module 
e

(dh) issue with 2.3 good practices example
(kd) prose a bit modified this morning
(dh) it's clearer what you mean

(kd) do we keep the examples? yes, we can still review and find better 
examples.

be kept
