Please would those of you who participated in the meeting review the draft and let me have your corrections as soon as possible. Thank you.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>With reference to item 9.1 in the minutes – future face-to-face meetings – your attention is drawn to the decision of the SC 34 Plenary in Prague (Resolution 25) to change the pattern of future face-to-face meetings from four per year to three per year, at four-monthly intervals starting with a Working Groups only meeting in February 2012. This means that following the Plenary in Busan, Korea, in September of this year there will be a gap of nine months before the next Plenary in Brazilia, Brazil. It is anticipated that the Brazil Plenary will meet in two sessions at the beginning and end of a week of Working Group meetings. A single-session Plenary is expected to be held in London in October 2012, subject to confirmation of the invitation from the UK National Body. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Given the support for ODF and ISO/IEC 26300 in Brazil, am I correct to assume that there would be support for a face-to-face meeting in association with the June 2012 Plenary?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It may seem premature to be thinking about a face-to-face meeting in 2012, given that we do not yet know exactly when ODF v1.2 will be submitted for PAS transposition. However, WG 6 experts should bear in mind the distinct possibility that a DIS ballot on the PAS submission of ODF v1.2 would result in the need for a Ballot Resolution Meeting (BRM), probably no earlier than February 2012 but most likely in the first half of the year. Depending upon the timing and location of a BRM, we may have to consider arranging two face-to-face meetings in fairly quick succession.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This is probably as much speculation as is needed for now, but I’m happy to receive your views, if any.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Francis Cave<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Convenor<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
