I just cancelled the meeting. Oops. But that's probably fine. These topics probably don't require a meeting. Email is likely sufficient. 5.) I am also working on a little announcement post for when Third Edition becomes a Recommendation. I had previously worked on a CICP post but hadn't updated it after comments. I'll be sure to link to your post :D 6.) I believe the plan is to create a branch for Third Edition and leave tip-of-tree as the current edition. That will then effectively become an inactive branch. (We can also mark it as a release on that branch.) On Fri, Jun 20, 2025 at 8:56 PM Chris Lilley <chris@w3.org> wrote: > Mostly announcements: > > 1.
