10 minReplacing the Technology Architecture Task Force meeting with another Trust Spanning Protocol Task Force meetingChairs

Drummond Reed suggests that the TATF can meet asynchronously or in a handful of special meetings to finish its work on the ToIP Technology Architecture V1.0 Specification in order to give its slot in the four-week meeting cycle over to the TSPTF, which really needs the meeting time. So he proposes to change the schedule so the four-week cycle of Wednesday meetings is one TSWG meeting followed by three TSPTF meetings.

DECISION: We will revise the TSWG meeting calendar to have a four week cycle of one TSWG Plenary meeting and three Trust Spanning Protocol Task Force meetings, with further Technology Architecture Task Force work to take place asynchronously with special meetings as required.

notes:

  • ACTION: Judith to update the ToIP Calendar to replace Technology Architecture TF meeting with Trust Spanning Protocol TF meeting.
  • ACTION: Drummond Reed to email the Technology Stack WG members about the change in meetings.
