Unfortunately, we cannot blame the Secretary for this one.  It was my
"Unfortunately".  "Unfortunately" deleted.

Changed to your wording.

Oops, I assumed that Ralph had asked for the number for your ISO report.
I've assigned 00-187 to your SBC-2 schedule and patched up the minutes to
reflect the re-assignment.  I do not have this file; Can you please send it
to me?  Thanks!

As Pogo said, "We have met the enemy and he is us".  I added: "Gene
commended George Penokie for setting a world's record for promptness in
resolving ISO/IEC letter ballot comments."

Changed to your words.

Changed to your words.

Good question.

I agree.  I think Ralph should hold off on completing this action item
until the May T10 meeting where we can affirm that the 13b changes were
indeed all editorial.

Corrected per your earlier comment.

One other correction I made was to insert the correct attendance list.
