[tei-council] TEI LingSIG Meeting in Jan/Feb in Berlin

[James Cummings]

Hi Council,

The TEI LingSIG have asked if there is a member of the Council 
who is interested, willing, and able to attend a meeting of the 
SIG in Berlin in Jan/Feb 2014. This is to prepare a proposal for 
a content model of the proposed <standoff> element, XPointers, 
etc.  The person attending would be expected  to participate and 
report back to Council.

I've not approached the board about it yet but I would suspect 
that we could find funding for limited travel and accommodation 
for such a meeting.

Is there someone who might be interested and available for this 
meeting in Berlin?

-James
