    - New comments: See c009-20 on the Wiki page.

    - Discussion: 

       These are all comments from Ymte Westra. Most are minor and have

       have been addressed by Robert and noted in the wiki.

       One comment, c017, was discussed by the TC. This comment suggested

       using a separate attribute to specify the keyscope to address a key inside

       a key scope. This option was considered by the TC during the design of

       1.3, and the TC chose the current design because we thought it would be

       more flexible.

ACTION: Robert Anderson will respond to Ymte to explain the disposition of

               this comment and Ymte's other comments.

5. Continuing item: Campaigning for the DITA 1.3 vote: (Tom Magliery)

    - Discussion:

       The objective is to reach out individually to as many OASIS voting members

       as possible. Tom has created a spreadsheet (see link below) that contains

       all voting members. He and Kris prioritized the members based on whether

       their company uses DITA, they are on the TC, or they voted for 1.2.

       At the meeting, we assigned someone to each person with priority 1 or 2.

       Each DITA TC member will send each of his or her assignees two messages:

          + This week: advance notification about the vote and request to participate.

          + When vote opens: reminder and request to vote.

The 1.2 Ballot shows who voted for DITA 1.2 (both person and company):

DITA 1.2 Ballot: https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/voting/ballot.php?id=1968

This spreadsheet shows all voting members, their contact information, and the

DITA TC person assigned. Note that not all OASIS voting members have a DITA TC

member assigned. Only priority 1 and 2 voting members, and a few others, were

assigned.

Spreadsheet: http://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/browse/wsvn/dita/administration/voting-OASIS-members-August-2015.xlsx

ACTION: Tom will send out a sample note that people can use to send to the

              people they volunteered to contact. TC members are free to adapt the

              note as appropriate.

              

ACTION: Everyone who has volunteered to reach out: Send the initial message

              to your recipients by this Friday, November 13.

ACTION: Kris will send some sample notes based on what she has sent out already.
