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

DECISION: Approved
Recent Updates & Recap
TSC meeting 18th May:
The subgroups/repos have been created:
Tenure: Maintainers and Codeowners need to be provided, scope is pending
VerifiedCaller: Maintainers and Codeowners have already been provided, scope is pending
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 be under discussion, some companies have commited to make a more relaxed alternative such a sandbox
Other topics
New API Backlog GitHub Repo have been created here. Issues have been migrated, PRs will be migrated once they are approved. New PRs and Issues need to be opened in the new repo.
Codeowners:
Anyone else commits to be codeowner?
Next steps:
