Discussion have been high-level at this point, mainly
around defining the bounds of a charter for a subcommittee to study the
problem (define usecases, research best practices, etc,) and propose metadata
enhancements to the ODF TC.  Hopefully we'll be able to formally announce
the creation of a subcommittee with the next few weeks.  The composition
of the subcommittee is undetermined at this point and ultimately outside
of our control.  This results from the openness of the OASIS process
and is a good thing.  The subcommittee will be a self-selected group,
of those who have time, interest and insight to join OASIS and participate
in the discussions.  Certainly we'll have several current ODC TC members,
but I'd expect this to attract some new faces as well.
