Re: Director-free branch

So, the CG would work on registries and evergreen for Process 2020, and the AB would do preliminary work on the Role of the Director for some future process?  That sounds reasonable.  I can wait for August to discuss in the CG ... although since it's public I expect the GitHub issues to get discussion.   

And yes, I means "defer" to mean we don't need to finalize until Process 2021, not that all discussion should be deferred.

    Here is my input on this question.
    
    At the AB F2F in April, the AB just barely started to address some of 
    the open questions about how this works.  There are still many open 
    questions.  As a result, the AB has set aside 7.5 hours to grind through 
    these issues in their F2F meeting in June.
    
    Since the AB has already started to crunch through these issues, I think 
    we should allow the AB to complete their first pass before this comes to 
    the Process CG.
    
    I don't believe that the level of issues that need to be addressed are 
    sufficiently straightforward that we can get this into Process 2020.  
    Remember that the target is to get Process 2020 into the hands of the AC 
    by August.
    
    When Mike says "defer", I hope that he does not mean to defer the work.  
    I believe that can (and should) look at this in parallel with the other 
    work going on.  I just don't think we can make it for Process 2020.

Feedback from the TAG is very welcome on that topic. Most of it is in https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fw3c.github.io%2Fw3process%2Fdirector-free%2F%23TAG-appointments&amp;data=02%7C01%7CMichael.Champion%40microsoft.com%7Cde097161aa114e85fcab08d6dd75186b%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636939892330465947&amp;sdata=vlE4YXrYH2R%2FZSRE1fFOPrVDE%2FG1Ad1Zf4etBuk3%2FmA%3D&amp;reserved=0, although there are some smaller changes to neighboring sections to integrate it.
