Patent Policy

<RiccardoAlbertoni> https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20200915/

Riccardo: Decision on whether or not to adopt the new patent policy as discussed in the last plenary ( https://www.w3.org/2020/11/03-dxwg-minutes )
… [ summarizing Peter's email]
… 2 options: adopt now (will require rejoining), or do nothing (wait for 2022)
… questions?

Andrea: did not get feedback from the Group so far

Riccardo: we can assume that people would complain if they had concerns
… can we still do the living standard if we don't switch to new PP?

plh: yes, but you wouldn't get the RF license

Riccardo: that's a bummer

Andrea: what is the impact on the FPWD?

plh: deadline is November 27

Andrea: fine to have a resolution now and allow people to pushback if they'd like

Rachel: reviewing the minutes from last minutes. did we check with the conneg people?
… Rob wasn't sure we can make the switch

Plh: better be safe than sorry here.

Riccardo: by end of year, we need to publish the FPWD for DCAT

Plh: don't make that contingent on the patent policy switch

<RiccardoAlbertoni> The group accepts the inclusion of the new patent policy (https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20200915/) in the DXWG charter

(draft proposal)

Andrea: not sure if we can vote for that. we'll need more time

Riccardo: let's not call the question
… and we can revisit in 6 months

[postponed]

Resolution: the switch to new PP is postponed

FPWD for DCAT

<RiccardoAlbertoni> ( see https://w3c.github.io/dxwg/dcat/#dataset-versions, and https://w3c.github.io/dxwg/dcat/#dataset-series )

Riccardo: we have new sections on versioning and dataset series
… we asked for feedback since mid-October
… got some
… we'd like to publish the FPWD for DCAT to collect further feedback
… no harm in publishing
… we included issues in the draft as well

Andrea: new sections are more proposals at this time
… trying to address all of the issues that have been raised but not set in stone
… we tried to propose solutions
… it's preliminary work
… some aspects still need discussion
… and some are controversial
… we can revise those sections dramatically in the future
… approving the publication of the FPWD doesn't make it final

Rachel: following the comments and should be able to comment in the future

<RiccardoAlbertoni> Proposed: to publish the FPWD for DCAT 3
