review and approve policy for discussion topics

https://www.w3.org/community/digitaloffers/wiki/Discussion_Topics#Policy

PROPOSED: Adopt the change policy for the discussion wiki

<dezell> +1 to adopt "policy" in discussion wiki

<ltoth> +1

<Amber_Walls> +1

<Kylie_Davies> +1 looks like a good process!

RESOLVED to adopt discussion wiki change policy

review good practices

Good practices info:

https://www.w3.org/community/digitaloffers/wiki/Discussion_Topics#Good_Practice_for_Use_Cases

IJ: Any suggestions? This does not merit a formal decision and will continue to evolve as we use it.

Review new use cases

IJ: I will add Joerg's by hand.

<Kylie_Davies> Just to say - I was happy with the use case example, process and good practices when I attempted a few use cases :)

https://www.w3.org/community/digitaloffers/wiki/Discussion_Topics

IJ: I did some editing and reorg to make it easier to digest

https://www.w3.org/community/digitaloffers/wiki/Discussion_Topics#Decentralized_Lookup_2

Kylie_Davies: This is from personal experience; more brick and mortar

adam: So is this part not key to the use case: "The retailer accepts the coupon but tracks it under a generic discount code. " ?
... also, what is use case v. user story v. terse problem statement

<Kylie_Davies> +1

IJ: I'd like to not over formalize yet. Let's hear from people and then prioritize and dive deeper based on what people are interested in, and we can become more formal then

<adamlake> q

<adamlake> q

Kylie_Davies: Regarding Adam's question... I mention the coupon code to not lose it

<adamlake> q

<adamlake> sorry

IJ: We could move the last sentence to "control on redemption"

Adam: Ok to be loose for now

IJ: We've not said what happens when the merchant can't do the look up

dezell: Lookup may involve a database look up but also other things like partial lookup (string match) or crypto test
... GS1 coupons have family codes; you can use those
... some capabilities are built-in

<adamlake> yes, a lot of these seem like capabilities rather than user stories.

(IJ: the user stories should suggest the capabilities)

dezell: it's a policy decision to accept or rject

move to settlement:

"The retailer accepts the coupon but tracks it under a generic discount code."

https://www.w3.org/community/digitaloffers/wiki/Discussion_Topics#Distribution_to_Mobile_Devices_without_App_Installation_2

dezell: Tracking may differ depending on distributin

https://www.w3.org/community/digitaloffers/wiki/Discussion_Topics#At_convenience_store

IJ: Do you mean "browser of the car" or "browser on the phone" or doesn't matter?

dezell: Either

What does "outside" mean?

dezell: Someone will bring it...keeps the driver from going into the story

store

<Kylie_Davies> agreed

<dezell> +1 to kylies use cases :-)

Easy Digital Offer Storage and Redemption

"Auto-discovery"

IJ: Two questions:

- How is coupon info stored on the user side? One big database or multiple databases (e.g., one per payment app)?

- Who filters the relevant offers? The browser? the payment app?

IJ: I think we've faced analogous questions around payment methods. The solutions may of course be different

dezell: There are various filtering criteria:

* Merchant (whether they accept the offer)

* Product family classes

<Kylie_Davies> +1 would like to review/edit my examples

<adamlake> +1

<dezell> +1

<adamlake> +1 to meeting next week
