\par Here is what I propose we should spend time on next week in Luxembourg.
I have included some notes of explanation to assist you a bit in your
preparation.
We can discuss other items for inclusion when we arrive.

\begin{enumerate}
\item Committee membership, addresses, etc.
\item Minutes of the meeting of 15 June 1989 (Document MLM1).
\item Business arising from the minutes.
\item Review of statement of work (Document MLR1 and extract from new NEH
proposal).

[I will bring these documents with me to the meeting. New members, at least,
have not seen them, and the rest of us should explicitly agree on what we are
doing.]
\item Review of Guidelines (Document MLW1).

[At the Toronto meeting we discussed most of this, but there will be some
outstanding issues. We should attempt to finalize the document and ``publish"
it.]
\item Bibliography.

[I will report on progress toward a bibliography.]
\item Introduction to SGML for Humanists.

[The Steering Committee has asked us to produce a document with some such
title. We can discuss what it should contain, and assign responsibility for its
creation.]
\item Guide to Using Minimization Features.

[At the Toronto meeting I was somehow fingered with the responsibility for
producing such a document. I have not done so. I want to assign this
responsibility to someone else if we still feel it would be a useful thing to
do.]
\item Mapping Existing Encoding Schemes.

[One of the tasks in view for this Committee is the identification of important
existing encoding schemes, and the specification of transformations from these
schemes into the framework of the TEI. We should discuss what we want to do in
this area and how we will go about it. An early draft of the statement of work
suggested that ``members of the ML committee will be assigned to encode
existing schemes." Be prepared to say what you are willing to do in this
regard.]
\item Volunteers and Subcommittees.

[A few people have indicated to members of the Steering Committee that they are
particularly interested in the work of this Committee. They {\em might} be
willing to serve on subcommittees if we thought that would be useful.]
\item Other Business.
\end{enumerate}
