… (goes through the updated PR 2023)

Koster: this can be automated later

Ege: we can look at this one and the arch and discovery in the next main call

Koster: do we need resolution?

Kaz: we can do so and bring to main call

Binding Templates

Registry

<kaz> Registry mechanism Analysis

Ege: we have a draft PR for the requirements

<kaz> wot PR 1183 - Registry Requirements Revision

Koster: we can render to view this new section

<kaz> Rendered Readme.md

Ege: we have the point with TODO, then we have points with not enough text

Koster: we have todo on where the registry should live

Ege: if it is a section, it is mechanically more difficult to update

Koster: any questions?

Ege: not having it in the td spec means maintaining a document close to the TD spec

Kaz: we can keep working on this document

Koster: I tend towards having a separate document

Ege: are we allowed to have a registry track document since it is not mentioned in the charter?

<kaz> W3C Process Document

<kaz> A registry report or registry section is purely documentational, is not subject to the W3C Patent Policy, and must not contain any requirements on implementations. For the purposes of the Patent Policy [PATENT-POLICY], any registry section in a Recommendation track document is not a normative portion of that specification.

<Ege> Registries can be published either as a stand-alone technical report on the Registry Track called a registry report, or incorporated as part of a Recommendation as a registry section.

Kaz: registries are documentational and are not subject to patent policy

Koster: so the main question is whether we can have a separate document

Ege: Does anyone object to having a separate document for registry if W3C process allows it?

Luca: IPR is a bit confusing here?

Luca: whether a binding is in rec section table or a separate document, the policy doesnt matter

Koster: we should definitely have a layered registry
… coap is used differently in ocf and lwm2m, ocf uses post and lwm2m uses a put to writeproperty

Koster: bindings should be identifiable

Ege: an ocf or lwm2m binding would be difficult to identify just from form elements
… also has other requirements

Koster: A profile can be useful in that case
… but we need to define the profile first

Luca: (didn't understand the first point, please extend)

Luca: we need to understand how to compose bindings
… also I would deprecate subprotocol and have a term called protocol and thus make everything explicit
… subprotocol is a "papercut" I have found

Luca: I would love to talk about degraded consumption

<kaz> [adjourned]
