[inexorabletash]

Hey @LJWatson @marcoscaceres @siusin

This spec wasn't included in w3c/webappswg#87 but per #84 (comment) this is part of the WG charter. Do y'all want a status report?

Also, potential topics:

• Brainstorming with anyone present on wording around Storage integration, i.e. Adopt terms from Storage spec #75
• Brainstorming around integration with Storage Buckets
• Brainstorming around behavior when storage is cleared (related to above)
• Any needed discussion around back/forward cache integration Specify bfcache behavior with proper tests #81
• Behavior with throttling twitter thread cc: @aboodman

Sorry I'm not sure what (if anything) is being asked of me here.

[marcoscaceres]

@inexorabletash, sorry for the oversight! Thanks for adding topics and will be sure to put it on the agenda.

[inexorabletash]

Sorry @aboodman - no action needed from you. I saw your Twitter thread and wanted to ACK it and discuss getting browser behaviors documented/standardized.

@saschanaz - did I miss anything? Will you be attending TPAC (virtually or physically) and anything you want to schedule time to discuss?

I think I have nothing specific to talk about. I won't be physically at TPAC but maybe virtually.

Web Locks is not part of the W3C /TR documents yet. Look forward to publishing it as a First Public Working Draft. Please let us know when the spec is ready :)

[marcoscaceres]

@saschanaz, @inexorabletash, all good for us to send a publication request for FPWD? (i.e., any blockers?)

If all good, I can prepare the CFC and send it to the WG.

[inexorabletash]

No blockers I'm aware of.

[saschanaz]

Fixing #75 first would be ideal, but that's not blocking IMO.

[marcoscaceres]

Thanks @inexorabletash and @saschanaz.

@siusin, filed #112 and send email to public-webapps. Closing.
