Discussion


1.	Open Meeting
TG opened the meeting, announce IP policy, and distributed sheet.

2.	Agenda Bashing
None requested.

3.	Overview of WG Charter, background
It was reiterated that the charter of this group is to document current processes, not to improve on existing processes.
  It was noted that we should keep a list of processes needing improvement as a product of the group.

4.	Work breakout and spreadsheet
TG displayed slides of issues to be worked on for each GFD (1, 2, and 3) and for New Docs.

The group should keep a master issue list for each GFD revision on GF.

Areas and other entities should be mentioned in an abstract way so that when these change, the document does not need to
 be revised.

5.	Call for Authors/editors for revised/new docs
5.a.	Documents Process
5.b.	Copyright
5.c.	IPR
5.d.	GGF Group Management

6.	Milestones for docs, prioritization
BN suggested we assign a primary document author, goes through the list of the issues, and identifies which issues will 
be handled in each document.

BN and DM will tag-team on the IPR update.
DS volunteered to author the Documents Process.
DM volunteered to author the [separate] copyright document.
JS volunteered to author the Group Management document.

Action: Each author should work through the current list of issues and determine which of the issues will be handled by 
their document activities by next phone call. (6/17; 8am CT). Steve C will set up a call and distribute.

Action: CdL will take list of issues and assign a unique number to each and distribute to the group.

Action: Each author will also read the GFD document, compare it with current practice, and determine the completeness of
 the issue list with respect to that GFD.  Publish to a broader audience (to generate interest and support).

7.	Timeline
The group will stick with timeline per the charter.

8.	Collect notes, blue sheets

9.	Other business:

9.a.	How to generate additional interest in this activity?
9.a.i.	Inform WG/RG chairs
