Terminology Document

All

• Craig McNally the term "platform" is something that we wanted to revisit but the terminology document otherwise has been accepted by the three councils

• Craig McNally what is the urgency on this?

• Jenn Colt has been talking with Marc Johnson on Slack and was thinking that could be part of a larger conversation about architecture

• Marc Johnson is okay leading this conversation and rolling it into the Architecture discussion,  we could use platform as the first topic on the Architecture sub-group

Other

Craig McNally mentioned that there were concerns about relaxing tenant separation in the consortia module. Should the TC discuss this during a Monday morning meeting?

Ingolf Kuss it should be discussed with the Security group along with the architects of the functionality (Olamide Kolawole) rather than on the TC

Craig McNally let's schedule it for the following Monday and take it from there, next steps could involve creating a sub-group or involving the security team. Craig will check with the sec team about it.

Marc Johnson suggests that we use the reminder of time to discuss the sec aspect of the RFC but Olamide Kolawole has left
