Koster: We need a working draft to push to CR

McCool: we want to try to do that two weeks before the CR

Kaz: we should talk about this during the chairs call.

Policies

<kaz> Issue 1208 - [Policy Proposal] Managing moderator policy

Koster: Moderator policy is the only one left to review. There is a branch for this to be reviewed once I turn it into a PR

McCool: This is mostly about responsibilities, there is a process to follow in selection. We need to link this

Kaz: The W3C Process Document just says we can create task forces.

<kaz> W3C Process - 3.4.1. Requirements for All Chartered Groups

<kaz> A Chair may form task forces (composed of group participants) to carry out assignments for the group. The scope of these assignments must not exceed the scope of the group’s charter. A group should document the process it uses to create task forces (e.g., each task force might have an informal "charter"). Task forces do not publish technical reports; the Working Group may choose to publish their results as part of a technical report.

McCool: so it seems we need to extend this document to have a process for selection.

McCool: It would help to have co-moderators defined as well.
… The process is to have a resolution and approved which is fine. We just need to define more if they need to have presentations etc. Just more clarification is needed.

Koster: The thing with multiple moderators, our policies is to have some assignments of responsibilities

McCool: Its really helpful to have two in case one person is not available that TF does not fall apart

Koster: Any other points to add to the document?
… Will make this into a PR for review.
… Any other policies to review?

Task Force Leads

Profile

Koster: Updates on profile meetings? When is the next meeting?

McCool: Neither of the leads are here. They were in the middle of creating a charter.
… They are not planning on having weekly meetings, but work based on PR's. They might do bi-weekly

Kaz: I personally don't think everything can be handled via GitHub. Anyway let's ask them about the next steps again.

Koster: A meeting was set every other week.

Security/Discovery

Koster: Security Discovery is still suspended. Any change in that work? It would be nice to update the document.

McCool: We agreed in TPAC to review and work these documents.

Koster: if we can activate the task force for a few weeks to go through the document.

Use cases

McCool: we need more people to step up and work on some things.
… We are collecting user stories into the new use case format. We need some work to reorganize this document. My plan is to do this before me leave.
… In this mornings meeting we received several new stories that Ege is working on reviewing. It should not become a requirement without review from another TF

Kaz: As a working group we need to discuss where to start.

McCool: we have a process in the document and if someone has a conflict they need to bring up an issue.
… We have a proposed process but no resolution to follow it.
… we are currently following that process

McCool: working through the proposals we rewrite them as user stories

Kaz: which issues should be converted to stories as priorities?

McCool: I think we have a consensus between the two task forces.

Kaz: we as the whole WoT WG/IG need to clarify the current status and the next steps to the whole group, because the fact some people are joining the meetings does not mean that is out to the whole group

McCool: suggest we add it to the next meeting to resolve this topic

Ege: One is a request for the process, and the second is what is our priority. So we need to define both these topics.

McCool: We will review the process and Ege maybe can help on priority

Koster: Any other points on UC works or TF leads?

(none)

Task Force Reports

Koster: Marketing TF resolved the logo issue
