Meeting minutes

1. Opening

The meeting was opened by IR (chair) at 18:03 EEST

2. Approval of minutes of the last meeting

The draft minutes were taken down by Michael Gordon and were made available in the group's wiki space and in the Meetings folder of the project in the OGC Portal (see https://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=71095).

The minutes were accepted with no discussion.

3. Discussion about the draft of the DWG Charter document

TK suggested adding W3C Evaluation and Report Language (EARL) as an external reference. There were no objections, so it was decided to add it to the list.

No other comments or issues to the charter text.

4. Finalising the charter proposal of the formation of the QoSE DWG

It was decided the the group will have until Friday 14th October to propose edits and suggestions to the charter text in the wiki. 

TK volunteered to create the Word version of the Charter document based on the wiki content on 15th October. He promised to upload the final draft to the group’s folder in the OGC Portal with public visibility and send a notification and the link to the group mailing list on 20th October at the latest.

IR promised to check the exact wording of the Motion to approve the Charter at Taichung from Scott Simmons.

None the the meeting participants would be able to join the Taichung meeting in person. IR promised to request for a slot for the ad hoc group meeting in the Taichung TC, and noted, that due to the meeting taking place in Taiwan, it’s likely that the time will be quite inconvenient for at least either the US or European group members.

MA asked about the next steps as the DWG charter is more or less finished. IR proposed that one of the first tasks for the DWG would be putting together a work programme for the activities to be furthered in the short term.

EM  joined the meeting at this point, and IR went quickly through the decision points made. IR promised to check the details of the DWG forming process.

5. Next meeting

IR promised to set a Doodle for the next online meeting on week 48, to verify that everything will be ready for the Taichung TC meeting.

6. Closing

The meeting was closed by IR at 18:35 EEST
