The Task Force will meet before mid-November 1998, perhaps at the Library of Congress, with travel and lodging funded by the Digital Library Federation. The Task Force would have a draft distributed to the entire group before ALA Midwinter. Share any documents drafted for TEI projects that detail encoding, editorial and work practices. Share representative examples of full-text. It was noted that the EAD provided a model for how to organize to provide such training.

For those who want to use SGML, decide whether TEI should be the common DTD or whether we should allow a range of DTDs. This may involve exploiting the commercial market, but we cannot rely on commercial interests to serve our needs.
