present?

Checking PMI and PR API to CR

IJ: I hope to do the transition request tomorrow. Awaiting editor final signal
... stay tuned for email re: change in CR exit criteria

Rechartering the WPWG

Our current charter => http://www.w3.org/Payments/WG/charter-201510.html

nicktr: the charter establishes our scope
... it's our "license to operate"
... our charter expires 31 December
... we first met in Nov 2015 ... so TPAC 2017 will represent the 2-year mark, and when we need to recharter
... it would be cool to go into TPAC with a draft
... the Members review the charter and we will want to socialize to get their support

<nicktr> ian: there are some strategic options

<nicktr> ...we could be underway with our review before the end of October

<nicktr> ...alternatively we use TPAC to hammer out issues within the group

<nicktr> ...so I suggest we keep both options open

Nick: Any questions on the recharter process?

[No replies]

Nick: Some things to think about for recharter are in the agenda

Things to do:

* Continue work with revised milestones

* PR API, PMI, Payment method manifest, Payment Handler, payment method specs

<scribe> New things (potentially):

<scribe> * New payment method specs (e.g., ILP)

* Curation and governance of network name list, etc.

* Version 2 features for PR API

Question: Should we revisit non-interactive (out-of-browser) payments?

scribe: e.g., for IOT

Ken: How would you see us articulating the relationship between the WG and IG?
... Regarding continuing work, should we be specific or generally say "we will continue"

NickTR: I think the more specific we can be the easier it will be to get the charter through the membership review
... open charters raise issues for some members (e.g., due to patent concerns)
... in terms of the IG and the WG, good question!
... the relationship between IG and WG was strong initially but is no longer as strong

<nicktr> Ian: there have been staff discussions recently

<nicktr> ...IG is an industry monitoring grou

<nicktr> ...IG could do analysis of needs and produce whitepaper explaining state of the world

<nicktr> ...over time IG continues to monitor and the working group

<nicktr> ...IG could review specs and critique WG's response to needs/market

<nicktr> ...in short IG becomes more like a "steering committee" which is distinct from the WG's implementation and technology focus

nicktr: I welcome more suggestions from the wider group on what we should do
... I encourage you to add your suggestions and thoughts
