PR Draft Finalization

Ege: Do we want to merge the PR now in the Main call or during the TD call later?

McCool: I'd defer to the next week to let the TFs review

McCool: We can spend the next half of the meeting on the Discovery PRs

Discovery 491

<kaz> wot-discovery PR 491 - Add list of contributors to acknowledgements

McCool: We listed all the non editors in the acknowledgement

McCool: any objections?

<merged>

Discovery 493

<kaz> wot-discovery PR 493 - Resolve exploration-server-http-alternate-language

McCool: It makes informative exploration-server-http-alternate-language since we do not have 2 implementations
… e.g. `MAY` to `may`

McCool: Any objections?

<merged>

Discovery 495

<kaz> wot-discovery PR 495 - Resolve security bootstrapping - round 2

McCool: I reorganised the section to move out only the assertion that is at risk
… We could remove all 3 though
… Ben and I we had a discussion and we could rely more on external standard

McCool: This PR generalised it to state that the response code should follow the respective standards
… this change does not change any requirement to the implementations

McCool: I'd open the floor for comments

Ege: Is it only changing the capitalizations?

lb: it seems to simplify more than that

McCool: We defer to the related standards (HTTP, OAuth2) regarding the error codes

ack

Kaz: We can simply make sure we remove the features at-risk and put some informative text instead

McCool: Normally test each assertion separately, this set of assertions have are badly interlinked

McCool: We make editorial changes to remove the dependencies while not impacting the implementations

Kaz: We can record that kind of policy within these minutes so that people can understand what's happening here :)

<McCool_> policy here is that we can't make changes that impact implementations or change requirements; this PR (https://github.com/w3c/wot-discovery/pull/495) does reorganize and restate assertions but does not impact implementations or add requirements so it can be considered "editorial"

McCool: Objection to merging the PR?

<merged>

<McCool_> proposal: Begin the PR draft review process for Discovery based on the current editor's draft.

RESOLUTION: Begin the PR draft review process for Discovery based on the current editor's draft.

Architecture PR

PR 914

<kaz> wot-architecture PR 914 - Add Accessibility Considerations

McCool: I'd discuss merging it tomorrow, please review it today and comment on the PR

Liasons

McCool: Sebastian is meeting with the OPC UA Foundation today
… he will report on that the next meeting

Note publications

Scripting API

Cristiano: some problem with ReSpec but asking Kaz to work with the Webmaster for publication.

Binding Templates

Ege: still working on the draft

<Ege> wot-binding-templates PR 290 - Publication Prep

McCool: Could you also update the calendar?

Ege: After the TD call today

<kaz> [adjourned]
