Richard provided a list of proposed glossary additions. Let's discuss adding them.

    In addition, the WHATWG Infra folks have noted some breakage when we both define the same terms. We need to discuss how to avoid doing that while providing full service to our customers. See this issue for discussion:
  • https://github.com/w3c/i18n-glossary/issues/20

Topic: IRIs and the URL spec: what's our policy here?
We re-visited our recommendations and the current status last week. Now we need to discuss whether we're happy with our recommendations.

Topic: Contact Picker API
Atsushi has an issue for us to review

Topic: Bidi named entities in HTML: now what?
HTML has established a firm policy against having any new named entities for reasons. Let's discuss.

Topic: Update the W3C style guide I18N section?
The section about I18N in the W3C style guide might need work...

Topic: Review proposed changes to accept-language
Chrome is thinking of reducing accept-language values on HTTP and in navigator.language so that only the first item is shown and the q list is not. Of course, this comes from security concerns.

Richard notes:

Seems to me that if you're worried about security you wouldn't add those q lists to your default, rather than clobbering all the multilingual people out there who want accept-language to work as designed.
What does the group think?

Topic: WoT Profile review two draft issues
Atsushi has brought us two issues for review!

Topic: AOB?
