One possibility mentioned in the draft charter: 15:11:41 ... by updating the specs, we are making use of a new feature of the W3C process 15:11:53 ... namely, documents are "living documents" 15:11:58 q+ 15:12:10 ... that can serve as an argument to keep the scope focused 15:12:18 q? 15:12:21 ack AndyS 15:12:39 AndyS: What does it mean to have a "living standard"? 15:12:51 pchampin: it means: a REC can be marked to be open to new features 15:13:20 q? 15:13:26 ... which does not require to go through the whole process (working drafts->last draft -> etc) 15:13:36 ... makes the process more lightweight 15:13:40 q? 15:13:50 zakim, move to agendum 3 15:13:50 agendum 3 -- Publishing a new report -- taken up [from agendabot] 15:13:53 zakim, move to agendum 2 15:13:53 agendum 2 -- Open actions -- taken up [from agendabot] 15:14:46 agenda: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-star/2021Jun/0012.html 15:14:46 clear agenda 15:14:46 agenda+ Announcements and newcomers 15:14:46 agenda+ Open actions 15:14:46 agenda+ Community Group Process 15:14:46 agenda+ Publishing a new report 15:14:48 agenda+ Admin 15:14:51 agenda+ Open-ended discussions 15:14:54 zakim, move to agendum 3 15:14:54 agendum 3 -- Community Group Process -- taken up [from agendabot] 15:15:17 pchampin: Did homework regarding the proposed transition to a final report 15:15:34 ... CGs are not WGs 15:15:41 https://www.w3.org/community/about/faq/ 15:15:49 ... but still the process is a bit more formalized than thought 15:16:00 ... two thing: 15:16:11 ... first, we are making a mistake with the list of contributors 15:16:29 ... contributors to a CG report must agree to a license agreement 15:16:33 ... by joining the CG 15:17:16 ... While that's the case for the editors and most of the authors, it's not the case for most of the contributors listed on the draft report 15:17:36 ... easiest way forward: rename that section to Acknowledgements 15:17:44 q? 15:18:10 PROPOSED: rename the 'contributors' section to 'acknowledgement', to avoid confusion 15:18:14 q+ 15:18:22 ack olaf 15:18:23 scribe+ 15:18:57 s/acknowledgement/acknowledgements/ 15:19:25 q+ 15:19:34 scribe- 15:19:50 ack james__ 15:19:51 +1 though I don't think this requires group resolution 15:19:51 pchampin: remains in the same place within the doc 15:20:21 q+ 15:20:40 james__: believes that he had to agree the W3C terms 15:20:47 ... when joining the CG 15:21:14 q- 15:21:26 pchampin: mybe that was because of a PR 15:21:32 s/mybe/maybe 15:21:33 q? 15:21:43 q+ 15:21:55 pchampin: we may also question who is in which section 15:22:10 ack AndyS 15:22:11 ... however, the issue at hand is about the third section 15:22:38 AndyS: doesn't that make it more a bit more complicated? 15:23:21 pchampin: when we go to final report, the license changes 15:23:50 ... currently, everyone is giving license for their own contributions 15:24:28 TallTed: no issue about being on the calls etc, but about what they have put into the text 15:24:49 q? 15:24:51 ... we may copy boiler plate text from some other similar report 15:25:06 pchampin: hoping that the current boiler plate text should be enough 15:25:25 ... currently just proposing to change the header of the third group of people mentioned on the report 15:25:55 ... checking whether it's okay to everyone to rename the header 15:25:59 q? 15:26:23 s/okay to/okay with 15:26:24 PROPOSED: rename the 'contributors' section to 'acknowledgement' 15:26:30 +1 15:26:39 +1 15:26:45 +1 15:26:46 +1 15:26:48 +1 (Acknowledgements ;) 15:26:57 +1 15:27:11 1+ 15:27:20 +1 +s 15:27:27 APPROVED: rename the 'contributors' section to 'acknowledgements' 15:27:41 pchampin: now to the second point in this context 15:27:58 And Bob? 15:27:59 ... some of the people under "authors" are not in the CG 15:28:07 ... Peter and Bryan 15:28:41 ... emailed Peter to asked to join the CG 15:29:09 gkellogg: believe Peter's affiliation has changed 15:29:14 pchampin: Bryan? 15:29:16 q+ 15:29:23 scribe+ 15:29:35 olaf: I'm still in contact with Bryan, I can ask him 15:30:14 scribe- 15:30:48 AndyS: isn't it important which member orga has signed up? 15:31:44 ... some other affiliation has changed 15:31:56 pchampin: another thing: 15:32:19 ... got confirmation that "final" in final report doesn't have to final 15:32:47 Was there a link to sign up to this group?

Now, there are a lot of people in the CG who are not involved in this work 15:34:42 ... hence, it may be a bit strange for hem 15:34:46 s/hem/them 15:35:11 ... Other issue: the final report will end up on the W3C pages 15:35:46 ... which will make it a bit more complicated if there will be another "final" version later 15:36:32 q+ 15:36:36 ack olaf 15:36:38 scribe+ 15:36:39 ... The final report may be published even before everyone has signed that final license agreement 15:36:41 q- 15:36:48 scribe- 15:36:52 ack gatemezing 15:36:52 ;-) 15:37:23 gatemazing: don't see the point about being reluctant about putting this on a W3C page 15:38:06 pchampin: didn't mean not to do that ever 15:38:36 ... but still better to wait until we are more convinced that things don't need to be changed 15:38:54 ... reluctant to end up with many "final" version 15:38:59 q? 15:39:12 AndyS: another reason for pushing towards final was 15:39:22 ... to be able to mention it in the charter 15:39:31 ... but that doesn't seem to be needed anymore 15:39:33 pchampin: right 15:39:53 ... the LD license WG charter also points to draft report 15:39:57 q? 15:39:58 s/report/reports 15:40:07 zakim, next agendum 15:40:07 agendum 1 -- Announcements and newcomers -- taken up [from agendabot] 15:40:09 ... so, that's not a blocking point 15:40:15 zakim, move to agendum 4 15:40:15 agendum 4 -- Publishing a new report -- taken up [from agendabot] 15:40:48 pchampin: do we agree that it's a good time to publish another version? 15:41:00 ... maybe not yet marked as "final" 15:41:34 ... we have some new content, plus several new parts about controversial content 15:41:51 ... technical work quite mature now 15:41:59 q? 15:42:09 ... probably a good time now to have a new timestamped version 15:42:11 +1 15:42:18 +1 to publishing as a draft 15:42:21 PROPOSED: publish the current editor's draft as a new draft report 15:42:25 +1 15:42:25 +1 15:42:27 +1 15:42:28 +1 15:42:28 +1 15:42:30 +1 15:42:31 +1 15:42:48 +1 15:42:51 APPROVED: publish the current editor's draft as a new draft report 15:43:09 pchampin: good, will take care of publishing it 15:43:56 ... will create PR with the new version 15:44:00 action: pchampin to make a PR for the new public draft 15:44:05 q? 15:44:09 ... and give some time for us to react 15:44:16 zakim, move to agendum 5 15:44:16 agendum 5 -- Admin -- taken up [from agendabot] 15:45:01 pchampin: more convenient to have these calls less frequent 15:45:08 ... e.g., every other week 15:45:19 ... also, considering that the summer break is coming 15:45:46 ... any objections? 15:45:48 +1 15:45:50 q+ 15:45:54 ack gatemezing 15:45:56 semiweekly == twice a week; biweekly == fortnightly 15:46:33 gatemezing: regarding summer, should we have a break / a month without calls ? 15:46:48 q+ 15:46:58 pchampin: we have to discuss 15:47:00 +1 les quinze jours 15:47:13 ... not clear how things will go in August 15:47:30 ... generally, yes, we may expect a longer break during summer 15:47:49 PROPOSED: have our calls every 2 weeks, starting now 15:47:52 +1 15:47:55 +1 15:47:56 +1 15:48:03 +1 15:48:05 +1 15:48:10 0 15:48:22 +1 15:48:23 +0 15:48:36 APPROVED: have our calls every 2 weeks, starting now 15:48:43 q? 15:48:46 ack gkellogg 15:49:02 gkellogg: August is typically lightly attended 15:49:21 ... maybe we can survey who will be around when 15:50:14 q? 15:50:30 pause in august 15:50:40 pchampin: any other ideas how to proceed during summer? 15:51:06 ... perhaps we can come back to this question in a future call 15:51:15 q? 15:51:34 zakim, move to agendum 6 15:51:34 agendum 6 -- Open-ended discussions -- taken up [from agendabot] 15:51:48 pchampin: any other business? 15:51:56 q+ 15:52:02 ack thomas 15:52:24 thomas: about my proposal from last week 15:52:52 ... my idea to remove it and create several separate PRs 15:53:15 pchampin: took liberty to mark thomas' PR as a draft PR 15:53:27 ... which indicates that it is not meant to be merged 15:53:40 thomas: sounds good 15:54:38 pchampin: to keep the discussion focused it's more practical to have smaller PRs 15:54:55 ... you can still mark them as draft 15:55:19 thomas: new branch needed for that? 15:55:41 pchampin: yes, always a new branch in your own forked repo 15:56:13 thomas: okay. 15:56:15 q? 15:56:23 ... try to put something together for the next meeting in two weeks 15:56:31 q? 15:56:33 pchampin: anything else anyone? 15:56:45 ... nope -- we can finish early ;-) 15:57:05 Thanks pchampin .. thanks all 15:57:29 zakim, please leave us 15:57:29 I don't understand 'please leave us', AndyS 15:57:37 zakim, please excuse us 15:57:37 leaving.
