The impetus was administrative, but we took the opportunity to look to the future. The clock is ticking for OASIS Technical Committees that formed before OASIS' current IPR guidelines. Any extant TC that doesn't choose a policy by April will cease to exist. Today, the RELAX NG TC unanimously selected “RF on Limited Terms”. That's about as open as you can make a TC and it's the same policy that the DocBook TC has adopted. Beyond administrivia, we also discussed future plans. The charter obviously needs a little work. There are a number of things that we could do, but two seem uncontroversial: Consider errata, if there are any reported. Solicit requests for enhancements. It's not clear that a revision to the RELAX NG standard would be the best way to address any enhancement requests (having been burned by the XML 1.1 story, I'm personally feeling quite cautious), but perhaps there are other things we could do. Send in your requests and suggestions.
