Document Progress

YAML media type is now RFC9512

Authentication Links

DarrelMiller to request review from SECDIR

Link Hints

Needs more investigation. HTTP structured fields might be too HTTP
specific.
Serializing into HTML is a goal

MediaTypes

Security Considerations document is now available in the OpenAPI GitHub
repo so it can be referenced in this draft. Suggestion to add
application/openapi to the current mediatypes. Rich pointed out that
Roberto is contributing even though he has had a new job for some time.

Idempotency

Mnot brought up some issues that were blocking. We will need to redo
WGLC
This is some good discussion in the GitHub repo,
https://github.com/ietf-wg-httpapi/idempotency/issues. Please review.

Rich: off-list email from authors saying they are working on an updated
draft.

ByteRange

New version has been published. Summary of changes from Austin:

• New syntax for content offset
• Now possible to overwrite a region.
• Now uses Structured Fields.

Austin also pointed out:

• Limit scope to publishing media type for now, defer other use cases
  to later.
• Use of headers to communicate metadata for the partial updates would
  be more suitable to httpbis WG

Please review.

Deprecation

Rich: My notes in the agenda and during the meeting are wrong. From the
authors, off-list: "What is expected? We published a draft 03 addressing
the time format related blocker." Chairs will review and probably do a
WGLC

Thank you all, it was short and sweet.
