*1)  Review of Current Set of Working Drafts*
- ODRL Profile Best Practices: https://w3c.github.io/odrl/profile-bp/
    - Final feedback, which intially was set for today, extended one month.
    - An ODRL Profile for Attribute based access/usage control using 
Verifiable Credential claims was presented. This can serve as feedback 
for the "Profile Best Practice", which should be frozen at a certain 
moment. TODO: Yassir volunteers to check the profile against the profile 
best practices, and do a self-assessment.

  - ODRL Implementation Best Practices: https://w3c.github.io/odrl/bp/
    - Final feedback, which intially was set for today, extended one month.
    - Comments in the github tracker by Sridhar 
(https://github.com/w3c/odrl/issues/44 and 45)
    - Joshua noted several issues that needed further guidance. For 
example, "party collection" might be used as "industry". A specific 
party collection, duly reified, would contain the specific set of 
authorised organisations. But what is expected? a list, a resource?. 
Certain left operands are more targeted to be used with certain right 
operands. Ex: "partOf" is expected to have a list behind. But this 
should be made explicit! What if someone wants to declare a list of 
countries?... how to refer to the countries?. Payments are also 
conflictive. Having "pricing lists" is a common practice --e.g. the 
specific, dynamic prices, being specified OUT of the policy. hasPart 
sounds ok for AssetCollection and PartyCollection. How to reference 
external, dynamic assets?
Not discussed
- ODRL Profile Big Data: https://w3c.github.io/odrl/profile-bigdata/
- ODRL Temporal Profile: https://w3c.github.io/odrl/profile-temporal/

*
  2) Proposal for a new Working Draft - ODRL Community Vocabulary*
   - Call for all to comment on https://github.com/w3c/odrl/issues/43
   - Currently, multiple webs link to profiles: main page, 
https://www.w3.org/community/odrl/wiki/ODRL_Profiles, 
https://www.w3.org/community/odrl/profile/. TODO: Renato to update this.
   - TODO: Beatriz volunteers to create a spreadsheet with all the terms 
that have been discussed.

*3) Other business*
  - An ODRL Profile for Attribute based access/usage control using 
Verifiable Credential claim was presented by Yassir.
https://gitlab.com/gaia-x/lab/policy-reasoning/odrl-vc-profile, also at 
https://w3id.org/gaia-x/ovc/1/ An open-source demonstration tool is 
available (not all features are implemented): 
https://wizard.lab.gaia-x.eu/policyStepper
   Nicoletta confirms alignment with the access control case.
  - Arthit asks an example of ontology that uses ODRL Regulatory 
Compliance Profile, Beatriz comments on 
https://github.com/besteves4/duo-odrl-dpv (unmaintained).
