Re: agenda and minutes for working group meetings

I believe we need to first discuss working group processes.  I believe the 
working needs a documented process to provide advance notice of meeting agenda 
and allows anyone to easily find agenda and minutes for past meetings.  I 
believe that the working group needs a process for controlling technical work 
in the working group and easily finding the current status of such technical 
work.

It turns out that it is possible to find minutes of previous meetings.  I only 
found this by starting at the minutes of the last working group meeting and 
going to the link to the previous minutes and then realizing the naming scheme 
for minutes and then going from my knowledge of the date of the previous 
meeting to the minutes of that meeting and then following the link to the 
previous meeting's minutes (twice) and then seeing the link to
https://www.w3.org/services/meeting-minutes?channel=rdf-star&num=200
That is not something that is sufficiently easy to discover.

There is also the W3C calendar for the working group at 
https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/rdf-star/calendar but many of the entries there 
are missing the agenda.  An example of a good entry in the calendar is 
https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/8a431cda-d732-4c77-a896-be3a6e4a0028/20230105T120000 
which contains a pointer to the email message announcing the agenda.  This has 
the advantage of providing a link to an email thread where discussion of the 
agenda can occur as opposed to a static initial agenda that might have been 
later amended.
