| 70 | +* JW: Discussion about the scope of the work ( should also include update on solid test suite ) |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +## Topics |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +### Action review |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +- Deferred: ( report next week, CB not here..) |
| 78 | + - WAC PR - Add Support for Client Identification and Issuer Identification |
| 79 | + - WebID or WebID-Profile |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +### CG meeting during Solid Week on 29th April |
| 82 | +https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/9d3965a2-f4a0-4346-8ca6-8eadee10051c/20260429T140000/ |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +* eP: I propose to cancel this CG meeting and focus on Solid Week |
| 85 | +* Objections: none raised |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +### WAC PR - Add Support for Client Identification and Issuer Identification |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +https://github.com/solid/web-access-control-spec/pull/133 |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +* eP: if Solid 26 includes WAC there will not be even basic App AuthZ unless this PR lands |
| 92 | +* eP: .. reporting to next week |
| 93 | +* Alignment on spec is slowly emerging, but no implementation |
| 94 | +* Rui: aware of the PR, but hasn't read it, when should this have consensus? |
| 95 | +* eP: no deadline, but for Solid 26 there would be urgency |
| 96 | +* jeswr: Solid 26 suggestion to create spreadsheet with server implementers and applications and WAC/ACP compatibility |
| 97 | +* ..: message to CG about spreadsheet and that survey will help determine Solid 26, survey due next Friday: 27 March |
| 98 | +* eP: would be nice to have tests for both to be able to validate (currently no ACP test suite) |
| 99 | +* Rui: recalls a proposal about adding group access control into WAC |
| 100 | +* eP: https://github.com/w3c/lws-protocol/pull/31 |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +### 2026 CG Roadmap (15+ min) |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +* CB: https://github.com/w3c-cg/solid/issues/54 |
| 106 | +* CB: any updates? |
| 107 | +* eP: suggest skip due to upcoming Solid Symposium ( let's talk about it after Symposium ) |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +### Solid 2026 best practice documents |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +* eP: we may want to review list of drafts and people compiled in January https://github.com/solid/specification/blob/main/meetings/2026-01-28.md#2026-odi-roadmap |
| 113 | +* eP: a list of item we can contribute, most of them assigned to ODI, wanted to check progress |
| 114 | +* JW: want to share and get feedback/PR |
| 115 | +* JW: my current draft on the Solid 2026 document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1da2J-NsU3K-4kWEFOvhzIdrvy_KftewXdlxfu401kY0/edit?tab=t.0 |
| 116 | +* JW: Walking through document |
| 117 | + * FedID in Solid |
| 118 | + * ODRL in Solid (requires changes to servers) |
| 119 | + * eP: [PR to WAC](https://github.com/solid/web-access-control-spec/pull/133) convo drifted into Link Header topic as well |
| 120 | + * RZ: significant server changes in handling ODRL |
| 121 | + * eP: policy connected to access grants |
| 122 | + * RZ: need to specify _who_ the policy is for |
| 123 | + * JW: currently writing LWS Access Grants/Request using ODRL to have sufficient coverage |
| 124 | + * eP: interest in LWS plans |
| 125 | + * JW: LWS isn't defining a single, or any, access control language; most applications won't/shouldn't be managing access controls; most just need a consistent language to communicate access grants/requests |
| 126 | + * JW: proposed "profiles", WAC/ACP statements, AC said, "No", ODRL was suggested and adopted for LWS Access Request/Grants proposal |
| 127 | + * RZ: has question about using ODRL as the Access Request; ODRL is also working on Access Requests; |
| 128 | + * https://github.com/w3c/odrl/issues/118 |
| 129 | + * https://github.com/w3c/odrl/pull/130 |
| 130 | + * RZ: (chat) Clarification: by "not using ODRL", I meant not using ODRL as is (i.e. ODRL 2.2 Core Vocabulary); these discussions are aimed at improving situations (esp. for a unified reasoner), and may be eventually considered part of a new ODRL version -- but until then, it's not official ODRL spec. |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +#### WebID or WebID-Profile |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +* eP: WebID-Profile isn't part of Solid Protocol 0.11. Does anyone know how much of it was implemented, and where? |
| 136 | +* eP: AFAIK nothing implements, for example, 'protected triples' https://solid.github.io/webid-profile/#protected-properties |
| 137 | +* eP: It seems to require WebID-Profile to be hosted on Solid Server while many WebIDs are hosted outside (for good reasons) https://solid.github.io/webid-profile/#Server |
| 138 | +* eP: issues with profile, should use very minimal webid-spec |
| 139 | +* JW: going to draft a much more minimal spec (OIDC issuer, PIM storage) |
| 140 | +* eP: questions whether PIM storage should be required |
| 141 | +* JW: Solid storage discoverable by PIM storage |
| 142 | +* Michal: Others, who are not here, may have input they want to give on this |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +### Solid 2026 WebID discussion ( next week ) |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +* eP: webId , extended profile, CID |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +## Actions |
| 150 | +- Theo: tell peolpe about the canceled meeting |
| 151 | +- Theo: set meeting to discuss IA scribing |
| 152 | +- JW: list of Solid Servers on a spreadsheet to see who implements WAC vs ACP |
| 153 | +- JW: will try to draft a on Solid-WebID and .. by next week so people have time to review |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +## Decisions |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | + - Cancel CG meeting during Solid Week on 29th April |
| 159 | + |
