---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kevin Smith Date: Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 2:40 PM Subject: Minutes 2010-03-15 To: XMPP Council Minutes for the Council meeting 2010-03-15 Logs: http://xmpp.org:5290/muc_log/muc.xmpp.org/council/100315/ 1) Roll call Kev, Matt and Remko present, Ralph absent. 2) Agenda bashing Voting period discussion added. 3) XEP-0136: Message Archiving version 1.2rc1 http://xmpp.org/extensions/tmp/xep-0136-1.2.html Diff: http://xmpp.org/extensions/diff/api/xep/0136/diff/1.1/vs/1.2rc1 Accept changes? Kev, Matt, Remko, Ralph to vote onlist before 29th March 4) XEP Notes. Should we have some comments attached to XEPs and proto-XEPs by Council? Cases in point: server ip check, Software information. Discussion (see logs) about this, rough agreement that there are circumstances (particularly reasons for rejecting changes, or rejecting protoXEPs) where it's useful to persist Council opinion. Also agreement that this helps re-enforce that Council must justify rejections. Also potentially helpful when accepting a protoXEP, where Council don't block acceptance, but do have comments that need to be incorporated before Draft. 5) XEP-0232 / software information: this was recently deferred for inactivity but there is still interest in moving this forward. Can the Council review it again and more clearly specify its objections? Searching through mailing list logs, we couldn't find any previous objections to the latest changes. 6) XEP-0193 / multiple resources per stream: several people have expressed an interest in bring back this feature (which was removed from rfc3920bis). Is the Council receptive to taking this on? Discussion that this could belong in a new XEP. 7) Review periods. Discussion about Council -1 votes and blocking XEPs. Agreement that some issues can't be resolved and so permanent -1s are possible, but that the usual case needs to be that Council members objecting clearly specify their objections, with hopefully suggestions for overcoming them. Peter noted that XEP-0060 (pubsub) currently has a -1 vote against it from Ralph, but the follow-up mail to the list explaining this hasn't come, so Peter (the XEP author) can't address the issues. Agreement that if Council can't specify their objections to XEP changes within a fortnight of the end of the voting period, the -1 vote should become a +-0. 8) Peter would like feedback on filetransfer things. To happen onlist or directly if people are interested. 9) Date of next meeting 2010-03-22 19:00 GMT 10) Any other business. None Fini. /K
