Hi Sebastian,
thank you for kicking this off! In general, I am very in support of a
canonical serialization that is not necessarily the representation used
for human interactions, but for common interoperability (maybe even on
signing level).
Quick few questions:
Is this intended as a one shot meeting? As I'd reply differently
compared to how I did right now (as theses dates are all in the IETF 113
meeting week, and I treated them as weekly availability check not
focusing on that week).
My assumption is that the poll is accounting for the TZ shift that
happens in that week? (the EU will be in daylight saving time already,
while the US is not). Is that correct?
Viele Grüße,
Henk
p.s. I have some proof-of-concept data definition for attempting such a
model somewhere on github. I couldn't find it ad-hoc, but that my be me
typing this in the sun, on my cell, at the playground with my kids....
also, I should stop now

Dear all,
I'm writing today about the formation of a new committee in SPDX!
During SPDX Tech Team discussions in recent months, it has become
clear that there are several key opportunities for SPDX 3.0: the
ability to verify the integrity of individual Elements independent of
a containing document, multiple equivalent serialisation formats
capable of round-trip conversion, and a clearly demarcated split
between SPDX's information model and data models.
All of these opportunities hinge on having a canonical serialisation
format. This is a representation of SPDX data that is never ambiguous
and is unaffected by stylistic or platform-specific concerns.
As such, the SPDX Canonicalisation Committee will be dedicated to:
- writing a specification for a canonical serialisation format for
SPDX 3.0 data
- determining processes for Element-level integrity and signing
- making recommendations to the SPDX Tech Team about potential
ambiguities found in the information model that might inhibit
canonicalisation
I have set a up a poll for the meeting time for this committee; please
leave your preferences at this page:

Feel free to resopnd to this email with your preferred times if that
site doesn't work for you.
Looking forward to hearing back from you and finding a good time to
meet!
Best wishes,
Sebastian
