Agenda
Go through, ensuring consensus:
 * Agree plans for the future of Leap2A, including governance and the formation of a light but formal body.
 * Seek consensus initially on what kind of body, with appropriate governance and finance, would be acceptable.
 * Ensure that we have reached consensus on all improvements to Leap2A from the 2009-03 version. (Most useful place for a list is http://wiki.leapspecs.org/2A/spec_changes )
 * Attachments linked with atom:link rel="enclosure" (not content src="...")
 * leap2:publication
 * use of atom:contributor
 * Intermission (common item) category for activities
 * new arrangements for leap2:spatial
 * leap2:affiliation
 * leap2:field="role" in leap2:persondata
 * The outstanding development point: qualifications. How to take forward?
 * Consider any comments on the current state of the rendering / validation service.
 * Deal with and resolve any issues emerging from export and import testing.
 * First ensure that as many as possible partners have compliant export examples available
 * Run these through the validator
 * set aside some time for partners to import on the spot and report from that experience.
 * Communication of validated information?
 * Discuss the nature and timing of the postponed work on skills and competences
 * Propose a meeting in the second half of October.
 * Demonstrate the outputs / outcomes of the advance party.
 * This is reliant and dependent on Nottingham, PebblePad, and Newcastle.

Decisions

 * An association or club model (not incorporated) was generally favoured for a body to take forward the governance of Leap2A.
 * Simon will start a Google group as a neutral space for those interested in shaping the rules of this body.
 * The spec changes were generally found to be acceptable.
 * The rendering/validation service was greatly appreciated. There were requests for
 * a more completely service-oriented approach
