PR 66
PR 66 - Move IG mention to collaboration section
McCool: (shows the diff)
McCool: it's kind of odd to have the description on the WoT IG within the mission section
… should have it under the collaboration section
… would think about how to describe it later
Lagally: process conversation several times on the WG and the IG
… preparation on the specs
… the current scope of the WoT IG is basically collecting use cases
… and this proposed change would formalize the collaboration as part of the collaboration in general
McCool: the question is related to the visibility
… not sure the process should really belongs to the mission statement
Kaz: maybe we should describe the relationship among WoT-related groups a bit clearer at the top of "5. Coordination" section
McCool: yeah
… any objection to merging this PR itself?
Ege: what about other W3C related groups?
McCool: potential improvements
… put WoT groups in a section of their own under collaboration
… move the WoT IG to the top and emphasize its special status
… then would move ahead
(no objections)

… we can change the description if needed
McCool: bunch of comments from Ben as well
Ege: have not checked all the comments yet
<Zakim> cris__, you wanted to react to Ege
McCool: let's handle the speaker queue first
Lagally: just go back to the text
Increase Descriptiveness of TDs: The WG will work on increasing the descriptive power of TDs to allow using them in more use cases. This includes describing dynamic resources, reusable connections, historical values (timeseries), repeating payloads, both static and dynamic geolocation information, manageable actions and more precise definitions of data schemas for each type of operation.
Lagally: some high-level scope on binding
McCool: wondering about the process here
… bunch of changes here
… we can discuss each point one by one
Ege: we're addressing the descriptiveness part
… would agree with McCool and think we should merge this PR for further discussion
Luca: if we have agreement on these features
… any of those features we'll manage
… if they have enough consensus
… would agree with McCool to merge this for further discussion
Kaz: we should once concentrate on the 6 major categories
… my question is if we agree on the 6 major categories here. If so, we can merge this PR and then think about how to improve the descriptions later.
Ben: ok with merging this PR itself
Cristiano: also fine with merging this PR itself
<Ege> please use https://
McCool: could work on text changes
… and agree with Kaz we should confirm we're OK with those 6 major categories
… (goes through the 6 major categories again)
… Updates to existing specifications
… Support WoT Interoperability
… Improve Management of TDs
… Increase Descriptiveness of TDs
… Improve Security and Privacy
… New Use Cases
Kaz: quite minor
… but should have consistent style for the title
McCool: yeah, verb or noun
Luca: we can even remove the ones already published
… regarding historical values (timeseries), what do we mean by that?
McCool: we could leave those points out
… let's see the updated rendering
Ege: (explains the updated rendering)
McCool: not hearing objectios to those 6 major categories themselves
… so major objections to merge this PR itself?
<cris__> +1 for merging
(no objections)
merged
McCool: please provide actual text for further improvements
<McCool> w3c/
McCool: (creates a new Issue on the style of the scope headers)
PR 41
<McCool> PR 41 - Expand WoT CG collaboration
McCool: (looks at the changes)
McCool: global community vs Japanese community
Kaz: ok with the draft Charter change itself
… and agree we need to clarify the policy on the WoT CG's work
… However, the policy clarification still needs more discussion
… so would suggest we continue the policy discussion separately
McCool: right
… what about the Charter text itself?
… would add "DRAFT" to the CG work policy document
Ege: ok
McCool: would merge the PR itself then
(no objections)
(some conflicts :( )
McCool: (resolves the conflicts)
… let's check if it renders properly
… (some problem with the link for the WoT IG, but can be fixed later)
merged
Next steps
McCool: we're getting close
… would like to use the half of the main call for the Charter discussion tomorrow
Ege: quite a bit of issues on the GitHub repo
McCool: effects the Charter for review?
… or details?
… Michael Lagally, can we use the Architecture call for the Charter discussion?
Lagally: if needed
Kaz: in that case, we should use the whole one hour from the main call tomorrow
McCool: right
… let's assume two more hours this week, the main call tomorrow and the Architecture call on Thursday
