    richard: doc needs to move to FPWD so we can send for wide
    review
    ... somnath and his colleagues have made changes to it based on
    comments
    ... question is whether to move to FPWD
    ... a few outstanding issues
    ... two people have sent in comments: Norbert, Hariraam
    ... Norbert sent in a large list
    ... also martin raised issue of whether we have permission to
    publish the pictures

    somnath: items in document are locally copyright free
    ... regarding norbert's comments
    ... only working on specific languages currently
    ... can get more reviews if we publish FPWD

    richard: don't have a problem starting in Hindi
    ... you mentioned Tibetan - note that Chinese Layout TF will
    work on Tibetan
    ... starting with Devanagari and then moving on to other
    languages okay

    somnath: updated references

    <scribe> ACTION: addison: establish a tracker for the Indic
    Layout requirements document [recorded in
    [24]http://www.w3.org/2014/12/04-i18n-minutes.html#action02]

    indic layout requirements document [on Addison Phillips - due
    2014-12-11].

    ... need to take this to my domain
    ... have some substantive comments
    ... remove IG Note publication step
    ... no objections?

    (none recorded)

    richard: better way to identify who the TF is and what they are
    doing
    ... internal mailing list similar to member@
    ... require them to announce meetings
    ... publish minutes
    ... and list who participated

    addison: agree with that

    bobby: +1
    ... not sure where others are

    richard: (discussion of "Chinese language" v. "languages of
    China")
    ... a large substantive change proposal...
    ... joining the mailing list should not be the same as being a
    member of the TF
    ... should require approval
    ... TF are people contributing time consistently
    ... public discussions and anyone can participate in those
    ... but not TF members
    ... need a separate way to apply to join
    ... have a group in member db
