Agenda:

1.      Review Open Action Items
https://www.w3.org/community/w3process/track/actions/open

2.      Issue-140: The description of the Team in Section 2.2 of the process document is out of date<http://www.w3.org/community/w3process/track/issues/140>
See thread beginning with:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-w3process/2014Nov/0116.html
which has the discussion of the text Chaals proposed for Section 2.2

The open topic is doing the updates to other sections that are implied by the removal of text from section 2.2.
And, the issue of delegation of the CEO's responsibilities, those previously given to the COO and Chair.

3.      Issue-145: Clean up mentions of W3C Chair, COO etc<http://www.w3.org/community/w3process/track/issues/145>
See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-w3process/2014Dec/0001.html

4.      Issue-100 Should it be possible to publish a pr before a call for exclusion ends<http://www.w3.org/community/w3process/track/issues/100>
See thread beginning: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-w3process/2014Nov/0195.html

5.      Issue-141: Improve Errata management in W3C<http://www.w3.org/community/w3process/track/issues/141>

See thread on Patent Policy FAQ 37 beginning at
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-psig/2014OctDec/0154.html

And, there was a private e-mail exchange that seems to have reached the conclusion that since section 7.7.2 Revising a Recommendation says that for errata to become normative they must pass a CR which provides an exclusion opportunity, there is no significant problem if new features accidentally creep into an proposed Edited Recommendation. If they trigger an exclusion, then that can be handled prior to it becoming an Edited Recommendation.

6.      Issue-129 Remove Coordination Groups<http://www.w3.org/community/w3process/track/issues/129>
Discussion with Judy Brewer
Should the Process Document include a discussion of "coordination" (and an escalation path when it does not occur)?

7.      Issue-93: What should the requirements be for specifications produced by more than one WG?<http://www.w3.org/community/w3process/track/issues/93>
