sk: we have to sort of publish FPWD by January 13 in order to meet the deadlines

sk: freezing profile by Jan 31

sk: and testfest by mid february

ml: really good to have a concrete plans. There are some open questions

ml: what is the plan with the architecture spec

ml: architecture should also have a feature freeze by Jan 31

sk: since there is no need to test, we can have it later than december

ml: end of january would be ok

ek: we can do it much later, no need to do any tests

ml: how about the note documents from the task forces

sk: we can have them in end of april>

kaz: we do not have to put the notes in this schedule plan

kaz: don't we want to test the architecture specification this time?

ml: we want to have an implementation report

mm: mostly manual assertions and implementation descriptions

kaz: isn't there dependencies between profile and architecture?

ml: yes. Also between td and architecture

kaz: do you want to add further features to your specifications

sk: if we have restrictions or dependencies between architecture and other specifications, it is not good

ek: sadly, there is such dependencies between TD and Architecture. And mistakes that do not align with the TD

ml: we should not call these mistakes

<kaz> (we're getting out of time but Kaz suggests we continue this discussion)

ml: maybe some misalignments that need to be formulated

kaz; we have a time problem. If michael mccool and ege does not have any concrete topics, we can continue discussion now in this call

ege: I have some points but they can be short

mm: we should decide what should be in the 1.1 specifications

kaz: this should be step 0

sk: (adds step 0 to the extension plan)

kaz: do you plan to have new features/changes in the architecture specification

ml: the text is mostly informative

kaz: Informative changes are also possible

ml: the spec is stable since months

ml: the step 0 should be about the normative changes

kaz: we also have the Wide Reviews

sk: TAG review also happens right?

<kaz> (Wide Review includes TAG, Accessibility, Privacy, Security and Internationalization)

mm: I put the 2 months padding because of this

<kaz> Wide Review Guideline

ege: I would like to see implementations first before going with a feature freeze

ml: ben francis has said that he has implementations and that these are easy to implement

ege: I still think that we need some implementation experience

mm: we don't have to have automatic testing

ege: my concern is not about automatic testing but implementability of the specification

<kaz> kaz: we should discuss new features including Ben's proposals during the step 0 in the updated wg-2021-extension-plan.md

ml: about point 1. What do we rollback?
… is there a tag/label?
