Conexxus Conference

Josh: David Ezell is on the Conexxus conference this week

"Inclusiveness" of the Binding Registry

McCool: we will do a time-boxed discussion today
… this should take max 15min
… we need to decide about the Inclusiveness of new WoT Bindings

Ege: we need to make decision about the inclusiveness and how free the linked binding or the registry entry should be
… there is a PR available

<EgeKorkan> wot-binding-templates PR 378 - Registry Requirements Update

<EK is going to share his screen>

Ege: to find the right place of the current assumptions please search for "DISCUSS"

<EK shows some discussions results>

<kaz> rendered MD of the Registry Requirements document

McCool: how many points still open?

Ege: maybe 4-5

<EK shows Modbus binding web page>

Ege: its free accessible and open
… other may be not accessible directly (need login) or you have to pay a license (e.g. Matter)

<kaz> wot-binding-templates issue 393 - Registry Inclusiveness - latest comments about the issues resolved and the remaining issues

Ege: if there is a document, e.g., behind a paywall, we should able to still review the document to approve that the binding is compliant to WoT

McCool: I think, it should be allow to have free access

Ege: in the Matter case, the devices has royalties but not the consumer application

Kaz: good discussion but we have only 15min. Expectation for the main call today should be a report what is decided so far from the TD-TF's viewpoint, and clarify which topics are still to be discussed. We should come back to the main call in 1 or 2 weeks after getting basic resolution from the TD-TF's viewpoint.
… technical details cannot be discussed during this call today, but can be done during the TD call today or tomorrow.

Sebastian: the registry should make it clear, that a binding is not free accessible and/or is not approved from us

Sebastian: we should also check IANA how they handle this

Kaz: agree

Kaz: we should also talk with PLH and possibly the TAG also about this when we get resolution from our (WoT) viewpoint

Meetups

McCool: some news from meetups?

Ege: no from WoT CG

Kaz: Smart City IG will organize a meeting, however, there will be 2 slots due to the different time zones
… there is a doodle poll ongoing but I'll add some more slots probably as a separate doodle poll
