Happy new year, Council!

1) Roll Call
Present: Larma, Jonas, Daniel, Georg
Absent: Travis

2) Agenda Bashing
Daniel notes some additions to the agenda, as Editor published a few new 
proposals after it was already sent out - doesn't expect people to vote yet, 
given they haven't had time to read them; at least one looks like it may become 
an interesting discussion [1], which could decide Jonas's vote. Georg is 
pleased to have more discussion.

3) Editor's Update
* Last Call on XEP-0424 expired
* Last Call on XEP-0425 expired
* Proposed XMPP Extension: Compatibility Fallbacks
* Proposed XMPP Extension: PubSub Namespaces
* Proposed XMPP Extension: Call Invites
* Proposed XMPP Extension: Message Replies

4a) Advance XEP-0424 (Message Retraction) - 
https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0424.html
Jonas: -1 (depends on a bunch of experimental XEPs the future of which is 
unclear)
Daniel: -1 (agree with Jonas)
Georg: -1 (we need to sort out the message referencing mechanism first; also 
dislike the amount of boilerplate in both [this and 0425])
Larma: -1 (same here; also goes for 0425)
Travis: [pending]

4b) Advance XEP-0425 (Message Moderation) - 
https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0425.html
Daniel: -1
Georg: -1
Jonas: -1 (same reasoning as for 0424)
Larma: -1
Travis: [pending]

Daniel notes that even though the following four votes are starting now, not 
everyone is necessarily expected to be ready to vote yet.

4c) Proposed XMPP Extension: Compatibility Fallbacks - 
https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/compatibility-fallback.html
Georg: [on-list]
Larma: +1 (I submitted it, so would be weird to be against)
Daniel: +1
Jonas: +1 (good enough to play with; note it misses a Requirements section)
Travis: [pending]

4d) Proposed XMPP Extension: Call Invites - 
https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/call-invites.html
Daniel: +1
Larma: +1
Jonas: +1 (looks sensible)
Georg: [on-list]
Travis: [pending]

The author, Larma, notes that this will become useful with PR #1139 [2] applied.
Jonas suggests improving the wording on where to send the 'left' element.

4e) Proposed XMPP Extension: Message Replies - 
https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/replies.html
Daniel thinks this must be the third or fourth XEP dealing with replies - Larma 
(as author) hopes it will be the first to stick.
Jonas isn't sure this should be accepted without a Design Considerations 
section detailing why the other mechanisms aren't workable; this feels like 
duplication ('thread', References, and Fastening already exist), so some 
rationale in the document would be appreciated before acceptance - Larma says 
those others don't specifically deal with replies. It's not immediately obvious 
to Jonas why 'thread' wouldn't work here, as a reply could always fork off a 
fresh thread - Larma explains that this only works if the original message has 
a thread-id - Jonas has a realisation. Georg is glad that this doesn't depend 
on 'origin-id'.
Daniel doesn't really see threads as a fitting example, but does see overlap 
with References and Fastening. Jonas remembers Message Attaching as another 
example. Larma doesn't agree they are very similar, but sees the need for a 
section in the XEP to explain why it's different.

Daniel: +1
Larma: +1
Georg: [on-list]
Jonas: -0 (desperately needs a Design Considerations section to explain why the 
other four standards are not an option to achieve the goal)
Travis: [pending]

4f) Proposed XMPP Extension: PubSub Namespaces - 
https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/pubsub-ns.html
Jonas: -1 (until there's a good explanation for why pubsub#type isn't an option)
Daniel: 0 (don't know enough about pubsub to make a good call)
Georg: [on-list]
Larma: [on-list]
Travis: [pending]

Larma notes that PR #986 [3] has an explanation for 'pubsub#type' - Jonas says 
it should be in the document.

5) Pending Votes
Everyone but Jonas on PR #1126.
Daniel: -1 (should go into 0004; should ask editor to cherry pick the editorial 
/ non controversial bits from that PR)
Larma: -1 (not sure if 0004 is the right place either, but the proposal 
definitely shouldn't go as is)
Georg: -1 (with the PR as-is, maybe a better non-normative wording can be 
proposed if we fail to update 0004)

Jonas wonders how such an integration with XEP-0004 would look, as being Final 
makes it tricky - Daniel thinks there was some discussion on how that could 
still be done in a compatible way, but also thinks it could be done with a new 
XEP.

6) Date of Next
2022-01-12 1600 UTC

7) AOB
None.

8) Close
Thank you everyone. Thanks Daniel. Thanks Daniel!


Kev, as References author, doesn't think References is a reason to block 
Message Replies, but agrees that some explanation would be worthwhile - does 
think References would work for the use case, but being stuck on URIs is a bit 
unfortunate.
