    • Decided to re-purpose existing PubSub SWG with revised Charter
    • Two Ad Hoc meetings, probably Wed 12 and 26 July 2023
    • EDR API SWG can pursue faster deadline, whether via another conformance class (as written by Tom Kralidis) or separate Part, to be decided
• Outstanding Issues:
  • Adding support for simple statistics/data aggregation/summary: conformance class or separate Part?
  • Is support for OGC API-Common/Features Part 3 CQL worthwhile?
  • When and how to add 'missing data' functionality?
  • Need to set up new projects/Workflows, with draft candidate standard
• Outstanding Pull Requests:
  • Only V1.2 or V1.0.2 branches outstanding
• Compliance Test Suite: V1.1 delayed until at least 3Q2023
• API coordination:
  • Tiling Sprint June 2023, Alabama: outcome?
  • Joint session with Connected Sysems SWG at Huntsville TC: very positive
• Update other Documentation on GitHub:
  • Wiki pages, Readme to outline PubSub, mock-up demos, draft standard pages, etc Plans for next month:
• Publish V1.1
• agree revised Charter for PubSub SWG

Outreach:

Longer Term Plans:

• Non-breaking changes and enhancements: Version 1.2: PubSub and Data Summaries
• Non-breaking changes and enhancements: Tentative Version 1.3: Streaming response, maybe replaced by PubSub
