Meeting minutes

Florian: Proposed resolutions for this call include

florian: Accepting PR #539

florian: as-is

florian: and accepting PR #541 with Sam's proposed tweak to link to the right sectionof the HR document

florian: and sending the Process to the AB/AC for ballot

fantasai: dsinger also called out https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/552

in https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-w3process/2021Jul/0000.html

florian: Forgot about that one, but support the edit.

florian: Though it's strictly an addition, so if no consensus we can add next cycle

weiler: I'm concerned about adding words, seems unnecessary.

florian: I think if it's controversial and not many people have reviewed, can wait until next cycle

florian: It's a good practice regardless

weiler: Sentence in a 70 page document doesn't help

florian: Gives creditibility to Team / Chairs if they point out that it ought to be done

fantasai: A lot of times I have to pester people to post their slides, it's a common problem

Ted: I've been in several meetings that they didn't post until asked.

Ted: Requiring deletion if you add more words isn't a good rule.

<weiler> [culture change doesn't come from this document]

florian: Over meetings had to ask people, adding wouldn't change needing to ask

florian: would help in cases of pushing back

Ted: They were pushing back. Decks were in private space and shared over meeting, and so they were pushing back hard.

weiler: Then not just a clarification

Ted: We know this, but not part of everyone's culture

Ted: putting it in official policy makes it easier to make it part of their acculturation

florian: This is why I support the edit, but as a chair, we're at the end of a long cycle

florian: I don't think it's urgent, so if there is controversy,, we could take it at end of next cycle

fantasai: It is a "should", so, unlikely to be a problem

florian: Sam, are you convinced or do you want next cycle?

weiler: Defer

Resolution: Defer 552

Resolution: Accept PR 539 as-is

Resolution: Accept PR 541 with Sam's suggestion to link to right section of HR document

florian: Anyone else have anything else to say before sending this onword?

[silence]

Resolution: Send Process onward to formal ballot

florian: Unless anything else to add to agenda, we will adjourn

Meeting closed.
