Antitrust Statement: Inigo read the antitrust statement

Discussion: Inigo brought up the item of wanting more time for the SCWG calls in order to make it more productive. 3 options are presented:

• Switch timing with the Validation subcommittee.
• Add 15 minutes to the existing call
• Extend the Validation subcommittee meeting and combine the meeting of both the subcommittee and WG and extend the duration of this call.

Tim Hollebeek argued that having a meeting for an hour and 15 minutes, will mean for most people you take 2 hours of their available time because in general meetings are scheduled at the top of the hour.

Ryan asked what the desired format of the WG will be, and where we as a WG should go in terms of goals and vision.

There is a clear consensus on defining what we as WG should aim for and “reboot” the WG and setup a roadmap together, adding the SCWG updates to the Forum call, and spend the WG time itself on setting up our roadmap and work on dedicated items.

For the time being, we will try to keep the same timeslot for now, and if after a few weeks we believe we need more time, we will rediscuss.
