<scribe> Scribe: Ian

Deliverable review

Discussion topics -> https://www.w3.org/Payments/IG/wiki/Main_Page/DigitalOffers2016#Initial_Discussion_Topics

ltoth: After discussion with dezell we felt we needed 3 deliverables:

IJ: we definitely want implementation experience, but that's 9-12 months from now; see our draft timeline. I also think a draft charter is months and months away)

Example use cases

[Linda reviews the two multi-tender use cases]

dezell: Thank you, ltoth, for the example
... We need perhaps to distinguish whether the offer comes from a merchant or a distributor

IJ: How does the source of the coupon affect combining coupons and other forms of payment?

dezell: In the case of a merchant, I can do things like change the transaction amount before payment happens.
... in that case it's not really a multi-tender payment.

IJ: +1 to calling out explicitly that the use case of "changing transaction amount" as a result of a merchant offer is NOT part of multi-tender payment

(See the Web Payments Use Cases

IJ: The Web Payments Use Cases document may be interesting to look at, but it's not intended to be a model for all use case documents. It is the result of WPIG discussion and a format that we found useful for our needs.

<ShaneM> +1 on what Ian said - I wrote a lot of that stuff and it is unique to the W3C

IJ: +1 to not being formal yet; just writing down things as Linda has, and evolving from there.

ed: Can we take a step further than the example; do we want to enumerate systems or parties involved?

IJ: +1 to experimenting with what you feel would help achieve shared understanding

<Zakim> jheuer, you wanted to talk about security and cross-implications to how offers are communicated

jheuer: +1 to these examples
... it's also good to give a feel for what it will feel like when implemented.
... and ideally there are improvements from a variety of viewpoints (e.g., merchant POV, consumer POV)
... I think, for example, that improved security would be an improvement in these processes

dezell: +1 to Ian's comments
... I think the main mission we are on at this stage of the CG's life is to understand one another.

IJ: What's the diff between use case 1 and 2?

ltoth: 1 is online, 2 at a store

[IJ edits in real time; updates based on conversation]

ltoth: I'd like to allocate different topics to people who would volunteer to add the use cases

dezell: Any other variations for multi-tender to discuss today?

<dezell> Ian: the heart of the use case is "at the time of payment, I can choose and redeem an offer."

<dezell> Ian: question for the group - are there use cases with commonality in their flows. Factoring those out can really help.

<ShaneM> remember that stories like this have additional "seasoning" to make it interesting. Like a word problem from 7th grade math.

" During checkout, customers would like to choose combinations of payment methods and digital offers to "get the best deal."

Adam: How do we gather them?

(Everyone can write in the wiki!)

<dezell> Ian: logistical point - this wiki is available to the IG. We need to move this into CG space.

IJ: Should I move the stuff into the wiki??

<dezell> +1

<scribe> ACTION: Ian to create a CG wiki and migrate the IG stuff there (leaving a pointer from the IG wiki to the CG wiki) [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2017/01/09-digitaloffers-minutes.html#action01]

[On whether wiki is ok for people]

ltoth: I think it's straightforward to use the wiki.

IJ: I can help people get started

ltoth: Any volunteers to write down some use cases?
... or i can assign sections

<Adam> I want to participate in developing use cases

<ShaneM> I am interested in capturing some scenarios

jheuer: +1 to how Linda added her use cases
... but I would like to be able to include use cases without categorization

<ShaneM> +1 to adding a miscellaneous section so you can throw in whatever and we can categorze it later

+1 to misc

<Adam> what about a separate use cases section?

<Adam> +1 to misc section

<Kylie_Davies> Happy to submit into a misc section too for review during next call +1

<scribe> ACTION: Ian will add a misc section to the wiki in the CG's wiki [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2017/01/09-digitaloffers-minutes.html#action02]

(I will migrate the material tomorrow morning)

dezell: Should people sign their use cases?

IJ: No objection; history records edits

dezell: May make it easier to find out who is leading the charge on a use case.

<Adam> Maybe we could by default add the use cases to the MISC section and decide on integrating them into the rest of the document as a group.

ltoth: Do we want to label what's draft and what's approved?

ed_: I will work on some use cases under user action

<Zakim> Ian, you wanted to ask what "approved" means

IJ: What does "approved" mean?

ltoth: I think it means "there is consensus on the language and to include it"

<dezell> IJ: I'll add a mini-policy section to the new CG wiki

(e.g., "don't edit those without group discussion")

Summary of who volunteered today to do some use cases:

<ShaneM> Shane - I did

Face-to-face meeting

ltoth: the WPIG is planning to meet FTF on 22 March
... we can request some time then to meet FTF and move this forward.

IJ: Did you have in mind e.g., 25% of time chaired by linda as a CG meeting?

dezell: Yes

<jheuer> I'd love to join but I can't make it this time

<scribe> ACTION: ltoth to query the CG for interest in a 22 March FTF meeting and others not yet in the CG [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2017/01/09-digitaloffers-minutes.html#action03]

<ed_> +1

<dezell> 1

<jheuer> +1

<dezell> +1

<ShaneM> +1

<ltoth> +1

<Adam> +1 on F2F

<Amber_Walls_GS1US> +1; though have a conflict on that date

<Kylie_Davies> Also love to join but don't think I can get funding to cross the pond

Next teleconf

ltoth: Would like to meet once we have new use cases

(23 ok with me)

jheuer: Not available on 23rd
... I will try to interact by email

ed_: +1 to 30 Jan
