Meeting minutes

tony: no meeting on the 23rd, IETF week

<wseltzer> nadalin: No meeting March 23, IETF

tim: June 9 for meeting in San Francisco hosted by MSFT

tony: draft charter?

wendy: hoping for something by end of March

wendy: question that came from Advisory committee
… licensing issues. Charter uses less permissive w3c doc license
… can't copy to make specification. anti-forking
… LE, if something goes wrong, can we still be under a license. Not likely outcome.
… helping the in discussion. AC asking should we re-license specs?
… this group has non-forking license
… raising question here
… should we bring back discussion to AC discussion?

...let me know

wendy: can send your legal folks to come to W3C meeting

tony: do we do anything?

wendy: no

agl: if it is not disrupting, my choice, most permissive license

wendy: would could update without a big production

tony: would be part of new chater

wendy: pissibly

possibly

<wseltzer> Document License

tony: what was your choice

<wseltzer> Software and Document License

tony: no need to be overly restrictive

tony: any other preferences

wendy: there was some preference for anti-forking
… so there should be one spec

tony: how do we proceed?
… change, update, adopt new licensing?

wendy: I can put details into github issue

tony: OK

wendy: could make change without another review

tony: OK open an issue

tony: open PRs

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1704

elundberg: nothing to do here.

jeffH: we don't explain use cases.

shane: comes down to policy of the RP
… that is subtly missed

elundberg: do we need to make it more apparent

shane: not sure it is the right place to do that.

jeffH: in create, the RP can set it; client decides what to send, it can be used or not used

shane: we can write a reply on the PR
… and see if the commenter has their question answered

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1695

tim: I did a few updates.

tony: discussion?

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1425

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1703

matt: from google point of view, we will get on this PR

Matt: PR in rough state so far
… not sure of next steps.

martin: should return objects.

agl: can we reasonably do that?

martin: we can reasonably support that

matt: I am optimistic

tony: will you work on this one?

matt: will work on this
… I was hoping to define return values
… with specific internals
… do we need to deal with something like that?

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/1696

tony: what is the action here

shane: unless there is intent to implement, looks like not, so maybe don't spend time on it.

tony: don
… don't hear talk to get on this

agl: I don't see action on this issue

tonuy: close? more time?
… any concerns?
… we don't have good feedback

jeffH: are we thinking this is speculative, but interesting
… doesn't seem to be interest in L3

agl: is interesting, but not near the top

tony: could move to futures.

agl: sure
