Below is my summary of what happened at the March T2 meeting in Marina del
Rey: action items, votes, attendance (of members), and relevant documents.
Please feel free to advise me where corrections should be made.
Note that these notes reflect what those present at the meeting knew at that
time, and information obtained later regarding membership status of two or
three member organizations has not been included; this has been my practice
as secretary. As far as Chair Tony Sarris and I can determine, the changes
in membership status did not affect the validity of the votes taken.
However, if the affected organizations feel strongly about the matter,
amendments to the draft minutes will be considered.
One more note: in order to reduce the list of addressees for this message, I
have included the "onto-std" exploder node. This means that some of you will
get this message twice. If this disturbs you, please advise me, and I will
take you off the addressee list whenever "onto-std" is used.
