Objection to resolution to pause work on WoT Profile

Hi all,

I note that in the last WoT main call a resolution
<https://www.w3.org/2022/10/13-wot-arch-minutes.html#t09> was proposed to
pause work on the WoT Profile specification until WoT Architecture reaches
CR status:

temporarily pause the profile work until the CR has been done. After that
> we use both call slots for profile.
>

In accordance with the WoT Working Group's decision policy
<https://www.w3.org/2020/01/wot-wg-charter.html#decisions>, I'd like to
politely object to this resolution.

To clarify, I don't have any problem with the current WoT Profile call slot
being used for WoT Architecture discussions for the next four weeks as
originally proposed (I'm actually unable to attend that call slot for the
next four weeks anyway due to other commitments). But I would like to
propose that members continue to collaborate asynchronously (using GitHub
and email) on the remaining open pull requests (currently 10) and issues
(currently 18) for Profile 1.0 during this time, in order to work towards a
new Working Draft as per an earlier resolution
<https://www.w3.org/2022/10/12-wot-profile-minutes.html#t02> made on the
WoT Profile call. If we want to transition the specification to REC status
early in the next charter as proposed then I don't think we can afford to
slow down and we need to get the specification into a stable implementable
state before publicising a call for implementations.

Proposed modified resolution:
"Temporarily pause the WoT Profile calls for four weeks and use the slot
for WoT Architecture discussions."

Best regards

Ben
