Meeting minutes

agenda and minutes

<kaz> agenda for today

https://www.w3.org/2024/03/06-wot-uc-minutes.html previous minutes

Mizushima: for today, will do logistics, updated plan, then minutes, then uc template, then input from WoT JP CG security seminar

logistics

Mizushima: have some holidays and cancellations
… march 20 and april 10 will be cancelled
… and also daylight savings time started, please check schedule

Proposed Plan

Mizushima: last week, wanted to work on templates for func req and tech req
… after looking at a concrete example
… however, we did not complete that, so this week we will continue
… but work on use case template, then do func and tech requirements on some future dates
… we also need to look at the publication schedule, and relationship with work items

minutes

<kaz> Mar-6

Mizushima: last minutes are at the above url
… (review minutes)

Mizushima: approve minutes and discussion points?
… (no objections, approved)

Use Case Template

Mizushima: need to clarify what we mean by "gaps", relationships between proposed use case and existing use cases
… as well as gaps in standards, WoT's and other SDOs

Ege: prepared PR w3c/wot-usecases#277

Kaz: Mizushima prepared an updated template, would like to show it

<Tomo> updated Use Case Template

Mizushima: first part is the same as previous calls
… but added part about gaps and relationships

McCool: I still feel gaps should go last, may need to consider e.g. security requirements

Ege: agree gaps should be at the end
… other point, this specific example of gaps is not concrete enough
… and should possibly be written by working group
… not clear what needs to be done by TF

Kaz: should first acknowledge updates based on last week

McCool: to summarize the changes, relationships were moved out of gaps, and a better definition of gaps
… I am fine with those changes

Kaz: we also should talk about the security considerations etc.

McCool: I was going to bring that up, but wanted to address moving gaps to the end first, as it is a higher priority

Kaz: let's take three step approach
… Mizushima's changes based on the previous discussion themselves, moving gaps, updating the security section

McCool: concur with first two, let's do that
… then discuss the last point when we get there

Ege: agree

Kaz: ok, Mizushima, since people agree, let's edit the markdown to move the gaps section

Mizushima: (moves gaps section)

McCool: for wide review sections, first, it would be good to link to the existing questionnaires for these sections
… even though they are not especially relevant
… second, for security and privacy, we have already defined a set of broad categories
… and it would be good for use cases to identify which categories they belong to
… (may be more than one)

<kaz> design-reviews issue (which includes the following 3 links)

<kaz> security and privacy review

<kaz> accessibility review

<kaz> internationalization review

McCool: these questions are not perfect, but are a starting point
… and then I would like to see the categories
… which is basically a set of five yes/no questions

Kaz: two steps then - let's add links to our versions of the questionnaires, then think about security categories based on the feedback from the Security TF (can make PR)

Ege: agree

Mizushima: agree

Mizushima: use case template should not be complicated however

McCool: true, and questionnaires we link to are a bit off-target
… but the five questions are proposing are very simple and valuable

Kaz: rather, it should be as simple as possible, and also it should include enough information for requirement extraction

Ege: regarding simplicity, if it is simple but not useful, then we are wasting our time
… we need actionable input
… would rather balance it more towards getting more information from use cases

Kaz: that's why we're holding discussion to see the well-balance :)

McCool: ok, let's work on a PR for these proposed changes in the Security TF
… then discuss next week
