* CBOR Bis status update and open points
    * New PR: https://github.com/cbor-wg/CBORbis/pull/171
    discussing the third option of duplicate key handling behavior -
    LL not satisfied by the text -> rather than encoder to be relied on specify
    protocols/applications that could support this. "in some scenarios you
    might consider the input not to be hostile but you should be cautious about
    that" Jim: proposal additional draft text "Applications may get different
    results for a specific key on different runs and with different libraries
    as which value is returned is based on library implementation and the
    actual order of keys in the map." LL: add text that requires implementer to
    specify which type they have implemented LL: if keep description of
    scenarios where encode can be relied on, expand it to the whole
    infrastructure, not only the encoder. Jim: happy with the text LL: content
    is there mostly; protocol design considerations missing mcr: read the text
    and ok with it

    * PR 165 - ask people to look at (still waiting on Jeffrey's approval of
    that one) * Laurence to check PR159 (already merged) and notify Carsten and
    mailing list * WGLC after next submission and to run for 2 weeks * new
    issue https://github.com/cbor-wg/CBORbis/issues/170 LL: not sure this is
    something you can do in CBOR Jim: you could make it an optional field mcr:
    or you could make it just null without tag. LL: it might not work for some
    protocols mcr: do we have examples? Carsten to write a response; do we add
    some explanatory text? dont think we want to change tags 0 and 1

- reach out to implementers (before WGLC)
- WGLC after next submission and to run for 2 weeks
