== Agenda ==
1) new license requests, see: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11AKxLBoN_VXM32OmDTk2hKeYExKzsnPjAVM7rLstQ8s/edit?pli=1#gid=695212681
* ICU License - to be added
* W3C Software Notice and License (1998-07-20) - to be added; (change full name on existing W3C to add date, and avoid confusion)
* W3C Software Notice and License (1998-05-19) - not adding; too old, only was in use for 2 months. no one had seen it used in wild on call. can always add later if need be.
* W3C Document Notice and License (1999-04-05) - not adding now - see comments below re: non-open licenses
* W3C Document License (2002-12-31) - not adding now

* this raised discussion as to whether to allow non-open source licenses on list with example of Sun Binary License again and prompted a mini-review of the license addition criteria: http://spdx.org/spdx-license-list/license-list-overview
* this license is really a documentation license, so
* probably should raise this annually in any case, to revisit the guiding principles - important to continue to ask: is this criteria still right?

2) 2.0 update - looked at SPDX License List

3) Collab Summit overview (coming up soon!)
* who's going? Dennis, Paul, Jilayne, Mark, (Alan, Sam - no)

-* probably should raise this annually in any case, to revisit the guiding principles - important to continue to ask: is this criteria still right?
+* Discussed whether we should amend the  license inclusion principles such that documentation and specification licenses do not need to meet the OSD (as strictly) to be explicit about what we do and do not accept and avoid creating an un-intended slippery slope of inclusion
