  1     Opening Activities
 
        Plum convened the meeting at 11:25 on Friday, 11 November 1994.  Saks
        was the secretary.
 
  2     Vote on CD Registration
 
        Plum said the US TAG must vote on whether to recommend CD registration.
 
        Motion by Miller/Gibbons:
 
            Move that the X3J16 TAG recommend that the US vote "yes" on CD
            registration of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/N0545.
 
        Winder expressed concern over the state of the current Working Paper.
        In particular, he thought the draft still lacked a foundation of clear
        and precise terminology.  Caves shared similar concerns.  Anderson
        agreed that the draft may still be unclear and imprecise, but that is
        not a reason for voting against CD registration.
 
        Plum explained that we agreed years ago on two criteria for CD registra-
        tion:
        --  Does it "look like" (follow the form of) a standard?
        --  Does it include all the major features?
        He said the answer to both questions is "yes".  He explained that the US
        has urged other national delegations that, if they want to improve the
        clarity of the draft, they should vote for CD registration.  This will
        indicate that we have agreed to stop extending the language and are
        ready to focus on clarifying it.  Plum thought we should heed our own
        advice.
 
        In the roll call vote, all of the following members voted "yes":
 
        Advanced Computer Training and Consulting
        Asymmetrix
        AT&T
        C-Team
        Centerline Software

  3     Approve delegation

        delegation to SC22.
 
        The motion passed without objection.
 
  4     Future Agenda
 
        Plum explained the X3/SD-2 requires that each X3J16 agenda have an entry
        for a US TAG meeting.  Lenkov asked Plum to provide him with topics each
        time.  Plum replied that "selection of the delegation" should be listed
        as an agenda item at each future TAG meeting.

        A motion to adjourn by Anderson/Lenkov passed without objection.
