Here is our agenda for next week.

1. *Review minutes*.   Confirm or correct last week's minutes at

	X3D Working Group meeting minutes 28 March 2018:
	tutorials, HAnim DIS, X3D Profiles, Feedback and Mantis Issue Tracking

This is a good point to note whether any other new business might be added to this meeting agenda.

2. *X3D Profiles page*. Last week we had a good discussion and new diagram by Vince Marchetti.  We will review and agree on specific improvements to the page.

     X3D Profiles

3. *Public and Member Feedback* and *Mantis Issues*.

We have a lot of specifications!  Completing and maintaining them is important, so streamlining participation with process-based procedures is import.

During last week's meeting we had a good review of the detailed summaries for each of these activities.  They are now collected as an entry-level overview page at

	Mantis Issue Tracking and Review
	http://www.web3d.org/mantis-issue-tracking-and-review

Please review this page.  Following this week's discussion, if ready, we can ask that it be added to the menu lists as entry point for Mantis.

We also talked through the need to have each draft and proposed specification listed on the selection menu in the comments form.
