Meeting policy

mm: wondering about the quorum for the meeting
… not really good to have only three people
… think it would be better to ask people for opinions by email as well
… not an actual policy but would go for that direction

Decision: We'll ask the whole WoT WG for opinions about the WoT Architecture spec by email

Issues

mm: issues marked as "by PR transition"

remaining issues with "by PR transition"

Issue 807

Issue 807 - Societal Impact Questionnaire

mm: not formal requirement
… also have responded to the TAG
… so should be able to defer this safely
… (adds another label, "defer to arch 2.0")

Issue 804

Issue 804 - Update profile description after profile spec is stable

mm: (adds "Document Impact" label)

kaz: do we really need to handle this for Proposed REC?

mm: if the description within the spec is wrong, we need to fix it

7.3 Profiles

mm: we could simply remove some of the descriptions here

The HTTP Baseline Profile defines a mapping to HTTP(S). The HTTP Baseline Profile is complemented by two other profiles that provide protocol bindings for the event mechanism:
* HTTP SSE Profile for Server Sent Events
* HTTP Webhooks Profile for Webhooks

kaz: would agree
… don't think we need to list all the possible Profiles here within the WoT Architecture spec

mm: right
… (creates a Pullrequest to remove the extra text)

PR 917 - Uplevel Profile Section

ek: currently, the "Baseline Profile" is the term

mm: the Profile spec itself is not yet done
… so we're not sure about the concrete possible Profiles
… we're not going to merge this PR itself today due to lack of quorum
… so would ask the whole WG about the opinions
… but this problem itself need to be fixed
… people can review this PR offline
… (mentions Issue 804 within PR 917)

PRs

mm: PR 856 is deferred to 2.0
… but PR 914 and 917 to be handled
… would ask the whole WG for review
… regarding PR 917, think the text change around Profile is necessary
… regarding PR 914 around accessibility, meat with Matt Atkinson and made changes
… given the participation today, don't think we could make further progress today

kaz: agree

mm: can send an email to the whole WG about this

<McCool> propose: Ask WoT WG to review the current Editor's draft plus PRs #914 and #917 as the "PR Draft". We will call for a resolution to merge these two PRs prior to PR transition next week.

RESOLUTION: Ask WoT WG to review the current Editor's draft plus PRs #914 and #917 as the "PR Draft". We will call for resolutions to merge these two PRs prior to PR transition next week.

kaz: we can still make a TF resolution around this, and the above resolution is kind of like one :)

Implementation Report

kaz: have you updated the Implementation Report?

mm: maybe need some more minor updates, but PR 916 has been merged

PR 916 - Interim 2023 Implementation Report update

Latest Implementation Report

mm: (goes through the latest implementation report)
… need to fix some of the text
… but the results are in good shape
… clean up for acknowledgements, etc.

kaz: quite minor but it might be nice to make the URLs within "6. Systems" actual links using [[<a href=""]]

mm: ok
… (creates an issue for that)

Issue 919 - Replace URLs in Document with links

kaz: note I mainly meant the links within the implementation report

mm: ah, was thinking about remaining URLs within the spec

kaz: would be good to convert a text URL to a link, if there is any remaining URL as text within the spec too

mm: ok

[adjourned]
