New Procedures in API Backlog WG meetings
A number of improvements are under discussion with leadership team of OGW project (Henry), CAMARA Project (Markus), Product Definition WS (Helene) and TSC (Herbert). As of today, the WG adopted agreements are three:
- To close the agenda SEVEN DAYS BEFORE the conf. call.
- In case a WG participant wants to include a point in the agenda (e.g., present a new API proposal), this participant shall ensure the corresponding issue is opened in Github by then.
- Exceptional situations will be treated separately.
- New schedule of conf. calls **The meetings are to be held by Linux Foundation (Links available at GitHub and Confluence Backlog front pages)
- 2nd Thursday of the month (10-11 CET)
- 4th Thursday of the month (15-16 CET)
- Send agenda to TSC mail list, to encourage more TSC member companies to join the call and provide comments when they identify APIs which are of interest for them.
Meeting Minutes within Wiki instead of Github
- CAMARA community agreed that meeting minutes would only be recorded in the wiki
Approval of minutes of last conf. call

- The subgroups/repos have been created:
- Network Access Management: CPE Management

- In the sake of the health of the CAMARA group, so that the projects do not lose their activity as soon as they are born, it will be proposed that in order to approve new API proposals, these must be supported by at least 3 companies (MNO or suppliers indistinctly). An issue will be opened within governance encompassing this. TSC will take a decission next meeting
- This issue seems to e be under discussion, some companies have commited to make a mor more relaxed alternative such a sandbox
...
- New API Backlog GitHub Repo have been created here. Issues have been migrated, PRs will be migrated once there they are approved. New PRs and Issues need to be opened in the new repo.
...
Anyone else commits to be codeowner?
ACTION: Ricardo Serrano Gutierrez to include Chris as a Codeowner
...
Next steps:
- Keep PRs in the old repo and the new
entering ones move them to - PRs will directly need to be opened in the new repo
- Issues will be moved to the new repo
