Proposed agenda for 01/08/18 call
Dear Lightweight DITA subcommittee members,

Happy new year!

The proposed agenda for our Monday call is simple: we will look at comments received during the committee note public review and make a plan to address them or send them to the TC.

If you need an agenda, here’s the link: https://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/LightweightDITASubcommittee

The topic logging comments lives in GitHub (https://github.com/oasis-tcs/dita-lwdita/blob/master/CommitteeNote1/comment-resolution-log-lwdita-cn-01.dita), but I am attaching an HTML transform to this message for reference during our call.

Best,

Carlos
