Meeting minutes

Agenda Review & Announcements

matatk: A few announcements!

matatk: We have been successfully rechartered. There will be much rejoicing.

matatk: We have a lot of plans for impoving the horizontal review process starting to take shape.

matatk: There is maturing not only in Maturity Model but also elsewhere.

matatk: We're keeping an eye sout for the IEs remainging IEs. We should be able to carry on as normal, but there si always the risk of blips at these transition points. Fair warning.

matatk: Hopefully nothing bad will happen. *Famosu last words.)

matatk: On the 20th of August there will be a talk form Lola A

Odelola on this call. The talk will be really good. Do attend if possible.

matatk: FYI: We've always had the confusion between the repos for spec review requests (a11y-request) and the dashboard repo we use to track discussions and track things we want to send back to a spec (a11y-review). There is now a new arrangement.

matatk: a11y-review willbe renamed on Friday to a11y-tracking to track more with the tracking nature of the tracking repo itself. Neat trick.

Fazio: The MM track note is pretty much done. There are a few touchups we want to do before it's out. At the latest, September is go time.

matatk: The maturity maties have indeed been models of maturity maturation.

matatk: Watch this psace for the CFC to be.

janina: We expect to publish another wide review draft beore the CFC. We will ask for a WR to make sure that we haven't missed anythign that should be done right before we say it's really, really done.

janina: Sequence: Wide Review publiscation. Asking for everyone to read it and feedback. Then we will come back to APA and say we think we're done and do a CFC to publish as an APA note.

Fazio: There is a lot of work to be done after the M is out. There will be tooling, other documents and so on.

TPAC 2025

matatk: Reminder that the registration for TPAC is open.

matatk: The applications for the support funds is also open.

matatk: That support fund is for the IEs.

matatk: WE have one pending schedule change request and one that came in today which we will try our darndest to accommodate.
