McCool: we are already in the wide review process
… not sure if we can

Kaz: we should think about extension and publication schedule separatly

… I'll do it
… we need to do this for each deliverable

<kaz> Wide review guide

McCool: one note we have to identifying substantive changes
… each document needs to have a privacy and security section updated
… more discussion is needed for the core documents
… every task force should start this process asap

Sebastian: we should start the wide review ASAP, it would take time to get the real review
… in the meantime we can continue working on the documents

McCool: we can figure out estimates about review
… our homework is to define a list of changes and do the questionaire

Ege: regarding the schedule when is the feature freeze / deadlines?

Lagally: can you define feature?

McCool: assertions are good examples of features. They should be frozen
… before review
… or only adding new assertions if they are really essential

Kaz: editors please look at the extension plan document and update the schedule again

Lagally: arch spec is not ready to be frozen

<kaz> extension plan

Kaz: as I mentioned already, we should think about the WG Charter extension procedure and the publication schedule separately, and discuss the updated publication schedule during the "Publications" topic later. WG Charter extension is already submitted to W3M and we're asking for 12mo extension. So we should think about our updated publication schedule within that period based on the current status.

McCool: testing need feature freeze but we could test only discovery and TD
… profile can have a dedicated a test fest

Lagally: is the TD feature frozen?

McCool: there are few PR that changes assertions

Sebastian: we need more discussion about PR first

Testing

McCool: no testing call

… IEEE is hosting an event too

Sebastian: I'm finalizing the discussion
… they have a multi organization agreement
