3. Administrative items (Brief)
   • Reminder that, per agreement on the 8th. our meetings at TPAC have been moved to Monday afternoon and Friday morning.
   • The TAG will hold a joint meeting with the HTML Working group at TPAC on Thursday, after lunch. Exact time is still TBD.
   • Proposal: tentatively, we will not meet next week on 29 October. However, because there may be value in having a last minute discussion of TPAC planning, and because procedurally it's easy to cancel a telcon last minute, but impossible to schedule one, we will for the moment hold off on formally cancelling.
   • The chair thanks those "shepherds" who have responded to the request to update issue status. Other TAG members are requested to update their issues as soon as practical.
