Agenda Bashing.

XEP-0226: Message Stanza Profiles, Issue Last Call?

A consensus is reached on issuing a last call on XEP-0226, although Matthew Wild notes that he finds the XEP pointless.

Reviewing of Peter Saint-Andre's Notes.

Has the roadmap been updated?

Kevin Smith agrees to update the roadmap.

Would we like to set a schedule for those items?

David Cridland suggests that the new Tech Review Team reviews XEP-0227.
Peter Saint Andre has created a new list for the Tech Review Team at http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/techreview

"We've had some discussion on the BOSH list about registering port 5280 with IANA and also defining a default path for BOSH services. I think it would be good for the Council to discuss these matters so that we can move forward if desired."

A general consensus is reached to register the port, but a consensus is not reached on default paths.

"The page at http://xmpp.org/protocols/ it is very likely out of date and missing some information. Perhaps this is a task that one of the XSF teams can complete. Let's discuss what we think is appropriate."

It is suggested that the Tech Review Team reviews this page.

"Some of the XEPs need new maintainers because I can't keep up with them all anymore (e.g. I have asked Brian Cully to take on maintainership of the PubSub Collections spec, and regarding XEPs 253 and 254 see <http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/pubsub/2009-October/000454.html>). Does the Council think that we need a policy on maintainership of XEPs?"

The council agrees that no policy is needed.
