thisismissem@activitypub.space

Context

We had low turnout on the meeting on 5th August 2026, as we really need input from other taskforce members on what our next 12 months will look like, we will be having an interim meeting. This will be added to the W3C calendar shortly.

When

August 19th, 11am EST / 5pm CEST

Agenda:

Introductions, if necessary
Brief Funding Update (5mins)
Scoping the next year:
- Proposals
- Interaction Controls — replies collection usage, per-object reply controls, interaction controls, and consent respecting quote posts
- Suggested Milestone Items
- Issue Triage — lets look to see any other “obvious” candidates for work items (e.g., suspended, or some of the initial report items

NOTE: This isn’t a meeting to discuss implementation details, instead it’s planning, as I need to get back to NLNet with a grant MoU soon. I will be moved the meeting along if we get too in the weeds.

Outcomes: Each item should have a minuted vote for inclusion/exclusion, voting is -1 to +1, with -0/+0 as negative but no objection/positive no objection.

We support contributions to the Agenda, please comment if there is something that we need to address during the meeting.
