<p>Thanks John for this reminder.

Can I propose the following additional items for the agenda:

(a) Editors' proposal for handling nontrivial changes to the Guidelines. See
http://www.tei-c.org/Drafts/edw78.html (shouldnt take long!)

(b) Review of workplan and timetable for TEI P5. See
http://www.tei-c.org/Drafts/p5.html
(could take ages if we discuss the technical aspects)

(c) Status of Master/manuscript description work. MJD to report. (no idea!)

Lou

As I see Syd has just fessed up, I won't labour the fact that he did ask the
Council for comments on his provisional draft before it was posted on the
website, which not arriving, is why it never got out of the listserv
archive! Anyway, I have now posted the draft as circulated on 24 June,
taking the opportunity to set up a new Council web page
(http://www.tei-c.org/Council/)

Yes indeed. Sorry, but I haven't done that yet. Incidentally, did the Board
formally agree to Sebastian's continued nomination as its representative on
the Council, along with Johbn? I hope it did!

As Syd points out, I don't recall the Board agreeing that this group should
be a formal TEI workgroup. My believe is that the discussion proposed
setting up a "special interest group" independent of the current TEI
organizational structure.

This is great, but I suppose I am duty bound to point out that TEI work
groups are normally expected to include an ex officio TEI editor.
