- Technical Project Team. The TSC informed the Board of the formation a single Technical Project Team with general purview in order to satisfy the requirements of the TSC governance documents, and it was agreed that it was not necessary to announce formally its creation.
- Technical Progress. The TSC has several draft documents which are expected to be in a state to solicit general comments soon; the board discussed how to best publicise these. It was agreed that the TSC would release first drafts of standards for public comment as and when they became ready, rather than waiting and releasing a large batch all together. As soon as a document is ready prepare 1-2 sentence summary of each document to be sent to each of our mailing lists so we can collect bounce notices and get feedback.
