1. Opening

Meeting is being recorded.

TK: do DWG meetings require a minimum number of people for quorum?

IR: OGC P&P do not seem to provide these details

2. Approval of the minutes of the last meeting

No objections; minutes approved.

3. Priority work topics for 2017:

Common QoSE terms and concepts:

- TK interested but cannot lead

- EM: same, can contribute

- topic needs a driver/lead

QoS metrics, indicators and capabilities extensions for OWS, phase I

- focusing on WMS 1.3.0, CSW 2.0.2, WFS 2.0.0

- TK: should we just use minor versions to be future safe (WFS 2.0.x, etc.)?

- to define a list of QoS metrics with URLs to each definition

- what does the resulting document look like? Discussion paper? Public Engineering peport?

- to be determined, too early to gauge

- TK: register/capabilities or engine

- IR: we need to keep clear the "what" vs. the "how"

- IR: register based on common concepts should provide a baseline for comparable measures

- EM: be user focused/centric; keep simple and iterate

- TK: can use some open source implementations (pycsw, GeoHealthCheck) to help test / proof of concept if desired

Discussion paper for ensuring QoE of OGC Web Services

- this DP will provide an initial iteration to approach a QoSE BP
- use cases
- checklist of procedures
- Cindy/Michael Gordon to review/feedback

4. Meetings during the Delft TC on Web 22nd March

- IR/TK confirmed to attend

- current empty presentation slots could be used to further discuss work items if not allocated

5. Any other business

- TK: can we have an rights on GitHub's OGC organization to create repositories? ACTION: IR to request from Greg B
- IR: Testbed 13 review of work packages
- Aviation: quality of data
- TK: how to participate in future testbeds?

- IR: ideal if sponsors define requirements
