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

Minutes of last API backlog WG call available here
DECISION: Approved
Recent Updates & Recap
TSC meeting 18th April:
The API Backlog subgroup will have its own github repo. Initial Maintainers have been requested. Those of you that have been active within the last meetings have received an email requesting for comitment/refusal:
The subgroups are being created: Network Access Management, Most Frequent Location, Device Visit Location (Location Insights family will have the same mail adress but separated repos)
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
