Attribution in videos
| Question by Kathleen
|
| Kathleen: Seeing a lot of questions about attribution in videos - should we have more specific guidance for TV/Movies vs online videos, where attribution (and link) could also be in the description of the video instead of or in addition to credits?
|
| Topic added by Kathleen Lu.
|
Should we ask Board to request Dorothea do agenda and trademark notice review?
| Background
|
| The LWG had asked the board in May 2021 to get some of Dorothea's time to help with distribution of the LWG agenda and with monitoring the trademark watch notices until Kathleen gets back from her leave. The request was granted and Kathleen is now back from her leave. Topic for requesting help with these tasks on a permanent basis.

Rescheduling recurring meeting time
| Background
|
| Kathleen: Moving meeting time for Feb meeting. Kathleen has conflict until 1830 UTC every Thursday. If we did 3rd Thurs of each month at 1830 or 1900 UTC, would we avoid conflict with OWG?
