agenda On the agenda for the next SG meeting

philip: many agenda issues are waiting on things
philip: haven't done the licensing PR I said I'd do.

philip: maybe we can round-robin assign minor issues that we can just close

maciej: thought we could close #65 based on the new field of web technologies definition
maciej: seems like it was an ambiguity because of a case where the company does web stuff but the individual doesn't. I think that's what was ambiguous before.
(some questions, reading of the issues)
maciej: domenic was asking for SG judgment on whether it was ok for this contributor to sign as an individual.
maciej writes a proposed resolution in the issue
Closed issue.

philip: can we resolve #84 similarly?
maciej writes a proposed response
maciej: if this person responds, we can probably resolve this based on the new definition.
philip: is there a circularity here where contributing to the WHATWG makes someone work in the FoWT?
maciej: It depends if that contribution is part of their job. If someone becomes a big contributor as part of their job then probably we want the entity to sign.
maciej: so this isn't quite actionable yet but could be easily if they provide info.

philip: any particular issues we should focus on today?

travis: I got some feedback on invited expert policy; keep looking at it if you have more. Not finished yet.
travis: I still owe you (and lawyers) a PR of proposed changes to the agreement.

philip: Also thought we could resolve #89
