... will review the open issues

Charter Review

angel_: any one not happy about the name of the group?
... 10% FTE from the team contact

yongjing: I submit a PR for issue #75
... to explain the relationship with WPACK

angel_: think Sam's suggestion makes sense

yongjing: it's about the nature of MiniApp
... the platform may not be the web platform
... whether we want to cover the Web browser as one of the hosting platforms?
... if yes, there will be overlap with the ongoing web standards?

<xfq> xiaoqian: talked to some vendors

<xfq> ... some suggested that we include a subset of the web platform as the base of miniapps

yongjing: if we are trying to be a subset of the Web
... we will need to identify what will be covered and what will not
... we need to focus on how to work with the other hosting platform

angel_: miniapp have overlap of the web, but not a subset
... minor suggestions about the wording
... what's not in the scope...
... what's "the other part of the MiniApp platform"?
... would suggest we delete it

yongjing: agree

xfq: there is an issue about operation
... Sam suggested operation may be within the scope

angel_: how about we delete the Out of Scope section until we have a clear picture?
... ok, let's delete it

yongjing: doesn't think it will make a big difference

angel_: Deliverable
... very clear about the 4 proposal and 1 requirement

yongjing: do we need to recharter if we want to adapt a new proposal?

angel_: good question
... we can add a new paragraph about embracing the new deliverables

yongjing: would like to avoid recharter to adapt those new deliverables in scope

angel_: next meeting, 9 July
... same time as today's call

yongjing: would like to extend the meetings or increase the frequency of the meeting
