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

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.

   The text in the issue and the text in the main branch differ; the older text in the D-F branch and the existing process match. Can we clean up and close the issue? I’ve lost track.

 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?

  #514 Improve AB Chairing text <https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/514>
    This is a heads-up for this meeting, as some would like this to land this year, some don’t think it strictly necessary, and some currently prefer it not land. If you care, comment on the issue.

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.
