     1. Planning for next GGF (February)

	I believe the deadline for meeting proposals is coming up soon.
We need to get our act together and figure out our representation in
Athens. At this point we do not have any definite attendees.
	Note: If no one can go it may be OK for us to skip this one?

     2. Variable semantics 
	Discussed the possible overlap between properties and variables.
It is important to understand if there is a single mechanism that meets
both requirements here. So can we meet the requirements of a variable
with a user-defined property? Can we use the same scoping rules for
both?
	

     3. Ongoing review of tracker tasks
	Extensibility group is making progress, they had a good meeting
last week and found a lot of opportunity with "hidden layer" semantics
to help support read-modify-write cycles for DFDL.
