Ege: I participated to Nordic Smart Cities meeting, 40+ participants, a swedish company presented their solution for building assets management

IG Charter Renewal

<kaz> Draft IG Charter

McCool: In the Chairs call yesterday we worked on it, the plan for today is to look at the changes and possibly get consensus to have a final draft

PR 149

<kaz> PR 149 - Update IG-2023 Draft

McCool: I left in the Timeline only what is strictly related to the IG

McCool: objections to the timeline?

Kaz: As I mentioned during the WoT Chairs call yesterday, I'm OK with adding this initial plan itself, but would suggest we add the paragraph from the current IG Charter as well. Maybe right before the initial plan.

<kaz> current IG Charter

<kaz> The IG will, during its lifetime, undertake different activities that may proceed in parallel. No specific timeline has been identified at this point, but the various activities are intended to be running for short periods of time (2-12 months), with the possibility of running a few iterations of them.

McCool: I can do that right now

(McCool tries to compile the text with the initial schedule.

McCool: I'd use the text to replace the timeline to keep that simpler

McCool: 3 choices
… - leave it alone
… - The PR with the additional small clarification
… - comple the current Charter text with the initial schedule

Ege: I prefer the second option

Luca: +1

Lagally: Not strong opinion but I would not commit to any timeline in the charter

McCool: Objections to merge it?

Kaz: Please remember that my showed text above was simply extracted from the current IG Charter, so that's safe enough. Also we don't need to put dates for the IG Charter itself.

Kaz: On the other hand, if we as the whole IG really would like to add some concrete date as an initial plan, we should ask Mizushima-san for his opinion regarding the deadline of the Use Case work.

Mizushima: It would be good if we manage to finish by that time, but I'm not certain

McCool: Objections to merge it?

<none and merged>

PR 151

<kaz> PR 151 - Minor: typo and missing space

McCool: Objections to merge this?

<none and merged>

PR 150

<McCool_> PR 150 - add SVG and PNG for group relationship figure for the 2024 IG Charter

McCool: We updated the date and regenerated the png

Koster: The image might have WG**s** and other small wording changes

Ege: I prepared an additional diagram

<Ege> https://github.com/w3c/wot-charter-drafts/blob/main/relationship.md this is what I mean

Kaz: During the previous call about the IG Charter, we decided to use the simpler diagram after adding "WoT CGs" as part of the other groups.

Ege: Please do communicate to me this outcome

Kaz: Please remember that Charter is a basic planning document, so we don't need to describe all the details there. We can still continue the discussion about the relationship among WoT groups based on Ege's proposal.

Ege: got it

<McCool_> proposal: Proceed with AC review for the draft IG charter given at https://github.com/w3c/wot-charter-drafts/blob/main/wot-ig-2023-draft.html and rendered at https://w3c.github.io/wot-charter-drafts/wot-ig-2023-draft.html
