WG Charter

The charter is out for AC Review with a deadline of next Tuesday. We need the votes in by our next call.

<McCool> AC review results (Member-only)

We've had some minor changes in the charter template. We've identified a further 10-15 companies we should reach out to for their votes. If you know the AC Rep for any of these, you are welcome to reach out.

Kaz will provide the list of outstanding prospects

McCool: they supported us last time, right?

Kaz: yes, all of them are part of the current WoT WG participants

McCool: Some feedback in the AC Review - the description of the TD deliverable is now too vague

Kaz: the detailed text is in section 2

McCool: perhaps the AC Rep wasn't looking at that?
... Suggestions for liaison with GS1 from Phil.
... let's indeed add that

<McCool> proposal: include liason with GS1 in WG Charter

[no objections]

David: is GS1 a participant in the WoT WG?

McCool: no

David: this request could be read as a PR thing

RESOLUTION: include liaison with GS1 in WG Charter

<McCool> ACTION: McCool to update charter to include GS1 liaision

GS1 did come to the workshop in Munich ...

Any other comments? [no]

Proposed REC preparation

McCool: we need to do this today or it will happen in 2020

We need to make a resolution to move to PR today to be within the end of year publishing moratorium

We had a few minor changes e.g. to update references and need to add these to the change log

McCool asks mlagally to do this

Lagally: okay, I can do that

Kaz: given that the change is really small we could note in the SoTD

McCool: I updated some labels ...

adding a CR2 period label

<kaz> example PR transition request (for vc-data-model)

The change log currently only lists one change and I think there are more than that

McCool: can I get a volunteer to do a diff on the specs and do a merge into the change log

Taki: I can do that

McCool: it is needed today ...
... We talk about dependencies ...
... we could state that dependencies are listed in the dependency section

McCool asks Kaz for the wording for the PR resolution

Kaz responds

<McCool> proposal: current editor's draft of Web of Things (WoT) Architecture document should proceed to PR transition

Taki: do we want to discuss the ID issue?

<McCool> proposal: current editor's draft of Web of Things (WoT) Architecture document should proceed to PR transition, including updates to change log

Lagally: isn't that about the TD not architecture?

McCool: I should create an issue to update the changelog

<McCool> https://github.com/w3c/wot-architecture/issues/416

<McCool> proposal: current editor's draft of Web of Things (WoT) Architecture document should proceed to PR transition, including updates to change log

[no objections]

mlagally suggests tweak to wording

<McCool> proposal: current editor's draft of Web of Things (WoT) Architecture document, including updates to change log, should proceed to PR transition

RESOLUTION: current editor's draft of Web of Things (WoT) Architecture document, including updates to change log, should proceed to PR transition

McCool: now the same for the TD spec

<McCool> proposal: current editor's draft of Web of Things (WoT) Thing Description document, including updates to change log, should proceed to PR transition

<taki> https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description/issues/560#issuecomment-562834543

McCool: Not sure we have an issue number for coap

some talk about the ontology files on github.io and w3.org

I believe that the TD spec itself is fine

Kaz: some question about changing the file name for the ontology

McCool: does this matter for the PR transition?

Kaz: no
... Also if really needed, I can change the redirection setting (from https://www.w3.org/2019/wot/ to https://w3c.github.io/wot-thing-description/ontology/) to adapt to the file name change.

<McCool> proposal: current editor's draft of Web of Things (WoT) Thing Description document, including updates to change log, should proceed to PR transition

Any objections? [no]

RESOLUTION: current editor's draft of Web of Things (WoT) Thing Description document, including updates to change log, should proceed to PR transition

McCool asks kaz to add links to the minutes to help Michael with the PR transition requests

and Kaz provides links to resolutions during the main call on IRC

Possible Press Release

Do we want a press release for the PRs?

McCool: we're better of with one press release for both rechartering and the PRs

<kaz> example press release of CSS Writing Modes

Kaz: Dave and I can't make this week's marketing TF call due to an internal staff review meeting

McCool: let's discuss the PR in next week's marketing call

Dave offers to help Sebastian with drafting PRs and we can discuss white paper and blog posts etc. in next week's marketing call

Dave to contact Sebastian about this

Data schema for non-JSON payloads

<kaz> Issue 839

Tentative resolution to only cover structured data, not e.g. JPEG files

Seeking input on whether we need some constraints on non structured data

Lagally: we need a little more discussion, e.g. for binary data

Kaz: handling binary data is difficult, but we could make progress at joint meeting with W3C Media and Entertainment IG

McCool: the IETF is working on binary data, and we should track that

Face to Face meetings

McCool: Nothing yet from Mozilla in respect to Mountain View in early March.
... We should pin down a date and plan for an open day

<inserted> kaz mentions the earlier, the better if we have the meeting in March, because March is the end of JP fiscal year

McCool: Seeking suggestions for June/July meeting, my assumption is that we can go with intel in Finland

TF reports

McCool: No security meeting this week, currently discussing lifecycle content to be moved to the Architecture draft
... also looking for a better timeslot for the Architecture call

<inserted> kaz: and I'll create a doodle poll for Marketing to avoid overlap with the project review calls

[adjourned]
