**Topic: Review proposed changes to accept-language**
*Chrome is thinking of reducing accept-language values on HTTP and in navigator.language so that only the first item is shown and the q list is not. Of course, this comes from security concerns.*

- <https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/yAOfFp7elrw>
- <https://github.com/Tanych/accept-language>

*Richard notes:*

> Seems to me that if you're worried about security you wouldn't add those q lists to your default, rather than clobbering all the multilingual people out there who want accept-language to work as designed.
> What does the group think?

**Topic: WoT Profile review two draft issues**
*Atsushi has brought us two issues for review!*

- <https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1664> (actually,,, unclear text on applying UTF-8?)
