Log of prior meeting at <https://www.w3.org/2021/03/10-w3process-minutes.html>

Usual meeting time: SECOND and FOURTH WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH AT 7AM PACIFIC. See <https://www.w3.org/groups/cg/w3process/calendar>



Overall purpose: still trying to close down 2021



1) Assign scribe, etc.,

2) Agenda bash. 

3) Agenda+ <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/labels/Agenda%2B>

  3.1) #509 Switching Tracks <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/509>

  3.2) #511 Define minutes <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/511>, Pull #512 <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/pull/512>
    But see also
   #322 What are the rules for where/how W3C publications are developed? <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/322>
   #338 Decisions <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/338>

  3.3) #312 Suspension / Removal for cause <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/312>
    We seemed to settle on somewhat improved clarity here, and #432 was merged and closed, yet the D-F branch and our working P2021 copy and what’s proposed here all differ.

  3.4) Editorial, but some controversy in the past, so decide:
  #513 Keep or remove Note about delegation from CEO/Director to Team <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/513>

  3.5) Maybe not for this year:

  #310 (Director-free) TAG chair selection timing <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/310>
  #313 (Director-free) Team-Appointed TAG Chair(s) <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/313>

  #505 Define a role of "Alternate AC Rep" & enable them to perform AC duties when necessary <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/505>
    Suggest we ask the team to give considerations of the easy, and binding, ways to do this?


4) 2021 ‘flagships’ and progress.

4.1) Tooling: #436 New section on tooling <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/pull/436>

   I suspect we are losing sight of both where we are and where are are going. Review and plan.

   Overall, I think we are waiting on anything that PSIG members or PSIG wants to comment on, and a review from the AB on tooling, if we can land it.
  
 4.2) Registries. 
   I believe we have addressed survivability in what we wrote and we can close:
     #330 Survivability of registries <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/330>

   Time to start working on the Guide and closing:
   #329 Guidance for registry creation <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/329>

  4.3) Notes. 
     #501 Abandoning a Note <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/501>

5) Clean up our Pull Requests (Editor to guide us?) <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/pulls>

#299 Any decision can be objected to
#401 Proposes changes to wide/horizontal review; lots of discussion, what can we land?
#433 Simplify the text on liaisons. Does this go back to the AB, as it touches on members that are consortia (maybe they should be liaisons with a specific WG?)
#434 (face to face) Meetings of new groups are 8 weeks from charter approval


6) Are we on for seeing the end of P2021?
   6.1) Remaining P2021 Priority issues:
    Can we close this?
     #130 Enumerate the requirements for wide review <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/130>

    Propose we leave this open and continue to ask ‘how?’:
     #356 Streamlining the Process Document <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/356>

   Review hanging paragraphs and make sure they are harmless, and simplify sections that have only one subsection:
     #424 Eliminate 'hanging paragraphs' <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/424>

   Provide a better ‘roadmap’ in the Introduction:
     #423 Section 1 (Introduction) should help navigate the document <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/423>
       Volunteer?

   6.2) Cherry-picked from the P2021 Milestone:
      Also from AC Review
      #347  Streamlining horizontal reviews
      #103  Should the process allow REC->WD transition directly?

      #60    Clarify the voting process AC-review (we’re never going to have a document that reflects reality, this is here just as a joke so we can all laugh or cry)

7) Issues that  the AC gave us last time we asked for a review; we should probably try to clean up?

The usual closers:

8) Next meeting.  14 April <https://www.w3.org/groups/cg/w3process/calendar#card-89dd2215-93d3-4af8-971c-931529bc227d-20210414T070000>

8) Any other business.
