The following is the proposed and adopted process for all Spec Process reviews (Communicate to Proj Leads & update Operations Guide. Paul to send the text below to the spec comm list):

    • 1. Spec project to create PR

    • 2. Spec project notifies the Spec Comm on the discussion list that their PR is ready 

    • 3. Committee chair to respond and assign the “next” mentor from the randomized list. Further considerations:

      • David to re-create a randomized list from the committee member roster [done]

      • Substitutions can be made by alternate spec committee member volunteering for a particular spec

      • If the committee member is active in the spec project, they will be pushed down to next spec

      • Required: Breaking changes must be declared/backward compatibility, and the JVM level/version

      • The Platform Spec may have requirements for specs that want to be included in an upcoming Platform Spec, to be discussed in the Platform Project

      • Ivar to add to sample Plan Review PR - https://github.com/jakartaee/specifications/pull/284

  • Assign Mentor and kick off release ballot for Jakarta MVC 2.0

    • Assigned to Scott Stark via the above process

  • Idea from Dan: Start an inventory of optional features and where implemented. Use to progress the discussion held on certifying optional features on November 4th.

    • Create a spreadsheet to record and send to spec projects

To be explored further in call scheduled for December 16th

  • Reminder: Our next and final call for 2020 is scheduled for December 16th, and our first call in the new year is on January 13th
