Current Charter
- OMF will be creating Steering Committee mentioned in part 7
- OMF writing up roles and descriptions/responsibilities

Michael and Jascha will write up roles & responsibilities for WG steering committees and submit to board
Kegan leaving Santa Monica and stepping down as chair
Michael S will be interim chair
0.4.1 was released on Friday with board approval
Reviewed timeline for 1.0. Big components are docks and reconciliation.
Webinar for reconciliation Wed 27 May
Dock discussion doesn’t feel sufficiently baked/resolved to Kegan
Jascha had follow-up with the GBFS people to increase spec alignment, working on a draft of a position-paper outlining a high-level approach that allows for both sharing of ideas but also recognizes differences in requirements, release cycles, and governing bodies.
Metrics API is also candidate for 1.0 because it may be something that Providers implement as well, although it was originally framed as a City Services interface. Maybe mark beta?
Other City Services APIs are proposed for 1.0, including Jurisdiction and Audit. If you’re interested, please attend the CS WG. Comments and feedback will help prioritize.
Discussed Jurisdiction spec in the context of describing “elsewhere”
Proposal to make telemetry optional, replaced with geography_id. Puts some additional compute burden on the providers, but has some nice privacy-protection. Can still ask for telemetry after a reasonable time-delay if that’s how the cities want to write their SLA. Probably will tag this “beta” while we test it out.
