WebAssembly Working Group, Feb 10

Hi everyone,
On February 10, the WebAssembly WG met and discussed several topics. The
notes are posted here: https://github.com/WebAssembly/meetings/pull/716.

The WG reached consensus in the meeting on several items:

1) Standardize the Bulk Memory and Reference Types proposals (advancing
them to phase 5 of the process,
https://github.com/WebAssembly/meetings/blob/master/process/phases.md). As
they are mutually dependent, the plan is to merge them into the spec
together.

2) Adopt the new version (15 September 2020) of the W3C Patent policy (
https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20200915/). This will allow
(but not require) us to use a "living document" for the wasm spec (instead
of tagging distinct numbered versions). We will discuss in the future
whether we actually want to do that or not.

If you are a WG member and have concerns or objections about these
decisions, please contact the WG chairs at team-wasm-chairs@w3.org by March
8, 2021. Assuming no objections, the decisions will become official at that
time.

Thanks!
Derek
