Sheriff, process to be worked out before a tool is settled on.
Update on Referencing spec? repo Should we ask OpenJS Foundation to promote asking for feedback? Should we invite everyone to go review the proposals?	@jdesrosiers/ @handrews	Promotion required to bring more people to provide feedback on the spec.
SDLC Discussion from last call Should deprecated features be included directly in the spec or someplace else? Should we deprecate keywords at all if we don't plan to ever remove them? Should we use semantic names rather than numbered stages?	@jdesrosiers	To handle exceptional cases deprecation is a possibility Numbered stages make for a quick start and can be modified with semantic names

PR 250

There was some confusion over the original intent of the "current concerns" list. Ben forgot or got confused over if it was a "currently working on this" list vs the original intent. The original intent was to allow individuals in the core team to bring attention to specific GitHub Issues, PRs, Discussions, because they require specific actions such as requiring review.

PR 250 was updated to reflect the original intent as opposed to the confused message.

Governance

• OpenJS foundaction call is in the works.
• Postman OTPO has been requested to provide research on governance structures. Both OpenJS and Postman's reply is expected to provide selective options to pick from and act as a guide.
• The above has already helped in clarifying distinction between an advisory committee and community champion and heroes program.
• Regarding Sheriff it is agreed that governance process needs working out before a tool is settled upon. Consideration of tool is deferred for later.

Spec

• Currently awaiting more people to provide feedback on the spec proposals and further discussion to be had.
• Discussion on, keeping the references $ref as they are and/or to add a new keyword. The two approaches were discussed and feedback is seeked.

SDLC

• With regards to deprecation of keywords it was decided that it should be available as an option to handle exceptional cases.
• Place of deprecated features is a presentational issue to be decided later.
• Regarding stages, categorizing behavior of implementers and users at certain stages can be used as semantic naming. Although, numbered stages would be faster to begin working under and can be modified when need be, by pre/post fixing of semantic names.
