… will merge some other PRs targeted at fixing issues and allow for a two-week review

Scripting API

McCool: no formal call for review yet

Daniel: will talk to other members and decide if a new publication makes sense, considering that the changes compared to the previous version are minimal

Liaisons

ITU-T SG 20

<McCool> SG 20 Question 4

McCool: we want to establish a goal, such as taking WoT TD as one of ITU-T adopted specification(s)
… there is still a long process ahead and we may need to update our liaison agreement with them.
… ECHONET has a TD-like spec. It would be good if they can fully adopt TD

Kaz: have been talking with them, they also got resolution for the collaboration during their HQ meeting. I'll ask them clarify their contact and continue discussion on interoperability, etc.

McCool: OGC is not listed as an official liaison. We would like to have direct liaison with them.

TF Reports

Daniel: scripting: still working on open topics

McCool: security: working on open issues

McCool: discovery: recently specified listing mechanism with HTTP chunking with a WIP header-based approach pending.

McCool: marketing: website on main branch, policies
… no main calls for 4 weeks prevented progress as it was a policy to discuss there
… may need to have a policy to deal with long cancellations
… blog post to be published
… few captions ready, some pending
… video publishing in China. Youtube is not available there and some alternatives host videos might be illegal in other locations. Not comfortable hosting W3C materials in such platforms. So would like to confirm the proposed host is legal.

Kaz: will wrap up the discussion within the Team

[will have a plugfest call after 10 minutes on the same webex channel.]
