The next quarterly reports are due at the beginning of April.

Action Item: Mark Lizar to reach out to Sal D'Agostino to update the quarterly reports web page.

Tools - Working Drafts

This item is n the agenda as the LC is collecting tools that people are using. Noted that there is a new events discussion group that has been a good addition.

  • Sal D'Agostino nominated for Secretary (by Mark Lizar)

The call for nominations ends tomorrow followed by the electronic vote (assuming there is more than one candidate for the positions).

  • Mark Lizar to follow-up with Pete on whether or not he will run for the Secretary position.

  • Mark Lizar to nudge Colin Wallis and Sal D'Agostino about moving the nomination/voting process forward.

Operationalizing the Kantara Theme and Collaboration

Colin is leading the effort.on how the LC will work with the Board of Trustees. Colin noted that it is to early to share. He is looking at PR resources to support this effort as well as other PR efforts either through Virtual or an external resource.

This will be an ongoing topic for the LC meetings.

Update on group IP

• Trust services and connective life by IPR on spreadsheet (please find this document here: Working Drafts)

Colin noted that Janie Clark may be approached to assist in writing the IPR. She has not been approached as yet, the transition tasks are taking the majority of resources at this time.

Action Item: Colin to check the Board minutes to ensure that Janie was approved to assist in this writing.

Eve discussed with the LC how specific clauses can clash with each other. She noted an instance where a participant needed to exit/not join the UMADEVWG because the specific clause that has to do with opting out that appears in the RAND IP option does not appear in the APACHE option.

Eve discussed the UMAWG posting on the GitHub repository. She noted that GitHub is used to collect issues and is where the WG works on their spec. A GitHub account is required for all users. She noted that when submitting an issue a warning appears that this group has an IP policy. She noted that the policy is very lightweight and it does not force you to become a WG member. As anyone may submit an issue the WG needs to be careful that they could take in work thereby taking in issues that have IP included. She noted that all issues submitted need to be dealt with in a cautionary manner.
