Alice: This has been open a long time. I am extremely confused by it.

Kenneth: It's not really a W3C spec either.

Alice: I suggest we ask Dan in the plenary what he'd like to happen with this.

Yves: Agreed, I would ideally like to close it.

Kenneth: Is anybody using this today? Could we propose something else? If people are already using this, is there anything we can do?

Yves: The issue notes that Alex and Andrew have previously contacted the IAB, but neither of them are still involved with TAG.

Kenneth: Might also be worth reaching out to Alex to see who he contacted within Google. If nobody is using it it's not relevant, would be nice to know who is using it and whether we have contacts to affect usage before we spend more time on it.

Alice: my thoughts: this has been open a long time. Kenneth raised - is this in use? The last 3 comments we haven't heard feedback on.

Yves: it would be good to have a group taking care of this. Considering they didn't take our feedback into their revised spec, we should probably drop it.

Dan: propsosal is to close with "not satisfied" and make some specific recommendations? Those might be : do this as a real standards group... Isn't there an advertising community group?

Tess: there is a business group.

Dan: let's agree this in plenary
