1min	Select Scribe for meeting	group	Tosha Ellison
10 min	Other FINOS Governance items	group	Nicholas Kolba met with Aaron Williamson and Rob Underwood (Deactivated) re: governance. Here were the minutes from that meeting: Minutes Embargo 2 days Only available to WG members (Confluence group) then made public Automatic process if possible, otherwise admin access for committee/PMC leads ACTION: Aaron to raise INT for INFRA Standards Ratification If not, amend the POP to set out explicit voting rules for standards ACTION: Aaron to attend next FDC3 PMC meeting Proposal: Notice-and-comment period WG decides whether to revise N&C for any revisions Ratification by WG and PMC ACTION: Aaron to review PGP & POP re: revising POP Aaron to draft revision to POP Process not spelled out in POP Generic voting rules sufficient, plus ratification by PMC? Role of PMC & other WGs in approval of WG-ratified standards Parking lot: communications re: why we're different from a standards development organization FDC3 Badging Prevent bad-faith/inconsistent use Foundation needs to own the trademark to register & enforce Should comply with PTO requirements for certification marks to be registered & enforceable Aaron: Ought to be a certification mark for FDC3 compliance Commentary from the meeting: Minutes embargo FINOS will investigate the feasibility of and work involved in implementing a 48 hour minutes embargo and will report back to the group on options. (Action with Rob.) If there is a significant amount of work involved then the group should re-visit the importance and decide if it is worth the effort. FDC3 Badging There is still some work to determine what the certification badge means, how to use it consistently and how to ensure it is not used purely or largely for self-promotion. Neil and Nick have an open task around definition of certification and welcome feedback from the group. It should be clear that this is compliance badging and not simply a badge to say that you are an FDC3 member.
20 min	Governance	group	decide on process for ratifying standards. Proposed outline: Proposed standard raised by WG by consensus by majority vote if consensus can't be reached (good faith effort) Proposal Published on Confluence or Github (depending on WG) Proposed standard presented at next general meeting Mailing Group set up for Proposal comments 2 weeks comment period from community PMC ratification by consensus by majority vote if consensus can't be reached (good faith effort) Ratified standards should be versioned and published on confluence For Use Cases, the process is simpler: Proposed standard raised by WG by consensus by majority vote if consensus can't be reached (good faith effort) Ratified use cases should be clearly marked and published on confluence Commentary from the meeting: There are still a few things to work out including Where proposed standards get documented - this needs to be a place where people can comment without having to be in the meeting. This can be tricky as some members can't comment on GitHub and some can't even post to Confluence. FINOS will look at the options for this and report back to the group. (Action with Rob) Given that ratification of use cases will be more frequent there may be no need to ratify these by the PMC, working group ratification may suffice.
