… will leave it to Ege

David: make sense?

Ege: yes, but need some more guidance
… how to document the projects, etc.
… where the resources generally belong, etc.
… also domain-based profiles

David: it's the gap between what we've been implementing and standards
… what would be the best way to do that

Kaz: several problems here
… TD topics to be discussed during TD calls
… Profile topics o be discussed during Profile calls

McCool: right
… also related to liaison topics
… need a list of topics
… documentation, liaison, spec gaps, ...

McCool: yeah, the Profile TF has not been active for a while
… Binding TF may be able to help you

David: it is non-application specific issue

McCool: we need to clarify what the core issue is like

David: need to make sure for the direction

Policies

Policy issues

McCool: we're not really following our own policy policy...

Koster: need to update it

Policy-adoption policy

McCool: (quickly skim the policy adoption policy)
… simple answer for the update could be removing the extra part

Ege: +1

<McCool> proposal: Delete the policy-adoption policy at https://github.com/w3c/wot/blob/main/policies/policy-adoption.md

Kaz: important policies still should be reviewed during the main call
… so would suggest not delete all of them but make it simpler

McCool: right

… how to pick them and remove them to be discussed
… to be documented
… some of the TFs may need a second moderator also
… Use Cases, Security, Discovery and Architecture

TF Reports

Marketing

Ege: sent an email to the WoT Chairs list about the WoT logo
… (shows several possible variations of the WoT logos)
… dark black background, blue background, etc.
… would it be OK to have this kind of alternative logos?
… (for slides which have darker background)

McCool: link for that?

Ege: can send this to the Member list

McCool: ok
… then make a resolution next time

Kaz: after making decision on our own preference, we should get back to the W3C MarComm Team
