Agenda Nov 6 - please read mail due to questions

https://www.w3.org/2017/dxwg/wiki/Meetings:Telecon2018.11.06

There are some open areas on the agenda because there seems to be some
hesitation about publication of the FPWD of the profiles ontology, at
least as I read the minutes of the last meeting. We did vote on the
publication at the F2F on October 25,[1] although I note that there were
a number of zero votes, which is not ideal. In addition, there were many
members of the group who were not present at that vote and who may wish
to have a say. It is important that the group as a whole supports the
publication of the FPWD, although not everyone has to be wildly
enthusiastic about it.

I'm trying to understand the sense of the group and would like to make
sure that all voices are heard. My question is how best to do this. (If
anyone knows of good, quick, free polling software, let me know!) I am
wondering if folks fall into any or more of these categories (in no
particular order):

1) I don't feel like I understand the profiles ontology well enough to
have an informed opinion
2) My use cases don't need this so I don't care
3) I have understood it and think it isn't ready for FPWD
4) I have understood it and think that it is important to issue a FPWD
so we can move forward
5) I do not think the group should issue the ontology as a recommendation

There may be other options, but as I said I'm feeling around to
understand the group's opinion.

We can discuss it here in email; we can open a github issue; we can take
a poll if we can find a good way to do that that is as inclusive as
possible. I will also accept direct communications if anyone feels that
they aren't prepared to speak publicly on this. However, if we are to
issue a FPWD it needs to happen as soon as possible as our time to
complete the task is limited. Barring any further discussion we will go
forward with the decision made at the F2F. Therefore if you have
something to say we need you to speak up now.

Any suggestions on how best to move forward (in any direction) are welcome.
