Quick Items
Binding Registry

… for example, when linking a document for a binding, is the document freely available?
… beyond that, what are the legal constraints for using the binding?
… should we require that the binding content be available for use?
McCool: we should have a written rule for this that we can discuss
… is there a github issue?
Ege: it's part of a PR currently
Sebastian: We should create our own registry with a defined policy for a starting point, keep it siimple, and modify over time
McCool: let's discuss the details at another time, create an issue for now
Kaz: agree with MM
… we should decide which part of the registry rule needs to be discussed in the whole group, and then we can clarify when to discuss it during the main call
McCool: we should let the TD task force organize the issue and discussion
McCool: let's continue the minutes review now
… are there any other pressing items to discuss?

Policies
Registry policy

<kaz> wot-binding-templates Issue 393 - Registry Inclusiveness
Kaz: the first person to talk with at W3C is Philippe Le Hegaret
… regarding policy matters
McCool: would like to discuss process and not specific policy
IE policy
<kaz> wot Issue 1171 - [Policy Proposal] Invite Expert Selection Procedure
McCool: we currently have a draft from Ege
… no PR yet
McCool: the process is supposed to start with a nomination from a chair
… typically there is a suggestion to the chairs or a self-suggestion from a candidate
McCool: is there an official W3C document for this?
<kaz> Invited Experts page
McCool: basically we need the nominee to demonstrate their ability and willingness to contribute
… we have asked for a presentation
… expect meeting attendance and Github contribution
Charith: it should be a relatively short presentation and there should be a template to help set expectation
Kaz: agree, also clearly define the expected contribution
McCool: we need someone to create a template based on an outline for the presentation
… background, expertise, prior experience with standards
McCool: there could be an initial approval step by the chairs
Kaz: we usually expect members to pay membership fees, and IE status is for when payment isn't possible for some reason
McCool: we don't need a full CV, but a one page summary could be good
Kaz: we need to be able to determine the contribution from the presentation
McCool: we'll have a written policy to refer to
AOB
McCool: we can close the meeting now, are there any other topics?
… is there a profile call today? It is on the calendar, so we expect to have a meeting
… if there is no meeting, we need to update the calendar
Kaz: we should send a notice about the time slot
McCool: we probably won't need a testing call for a while
