Summary

The sedate working group meeting focused on the remaining issues for their current document, which addresses hints for date and time information. Discussions centered on clarifying error handling, refining terminology, and resolving references, particularly regarding the C r data. The group also addressed the next steps for publishing the document and its implications for closing the working group.

Key Discussion Points

Charter Update and Document Status: Discussed the updated charter to include a specific fix related to RFC 3339 and the submission of the document to the IESG.
AD Review: Discussed the received AD review and the need for editorial fixes, more detail on error handling, designated expert guidelines, and the reference to C r.
C r Reference: Extensive discussion regarding the reference to C r and its Xml file on Github. The stability and appropriate way to reference this information was questioned. It was determined the IANA will be contacted to find a more stable reference in cooperation with the Unicode Consortium.
Error Handling: Detailed discussion of error handling, specifically regarding conflicting items and the use of critical flags. A decision was made on how to handle duplicates with and without critical flags.
Terminology: Clarification of the terminology used within the document, specifically "tag", "key", and "value".
Legacy GMT: Mention of and subsequent removal of legacy GMT time zones to avoid incorrectly encoded issues.
Working Group Closure: The intention to close the working group after the current document is published was discussed.
