Hi all,
Proposed agenda items for the meeting next week:
UK Update: Update on UK Local government work including upgraded Validator & Dashboard and planned meeting.
Approving 3.1 proposals : Discuss the process for committee approval. Request from ODS to be in a position to begin implementation by close of business 25th September (at the latest), so that Matt has time to complete the work before heading off on 6 months parental leave. Related forum post .
Events: Discuss the Add and events schema proposal with a view to deferring this to a future upgrade. Related forum post .
New Channel: Access, usage and the purpose of the new Technical Committee channel and its relationship to the standard governance process.
Charter : Feedback on Gregâs proposed changes and moving towards approval.
Committee engagement: What does this look like going forwards (in practice) when it comes to processing new issue and remaining issues. Some thoughts from me in this issue #508 (the first created since we formalised the committee).
As always, feel free to suggest others.
Dan
Might we have a couple of minutes on âdocumenting profilesâ please?

Hi all,
Please see the proposed agenda for meeting next Wednesday.
There a few things weâd appreciate people look at prior to the meeting if possible (see emboldened).
Agenda:
Validator features
Full vs Partial validation â what do we mean?
What kind of feedback do users need at a minimum? What should we aim to deliver?
what kinds of information on failure we want?
âDescription of errorsâ
Routine validation with automated notification? (see also row 28)
See also rows 56 onward
Transformer proposal â is this of interest? What questions do people have?
Recent forum threads (for reference):

Thanks, Dan.
For other folks on the Committee, I hope you can at least take a look at the questions about the Validator features (the shorthand bullets here reflect longer comments in the notes under each item in the spreadsheet )
