Report from the TCG
- Feb. 26th, Mar. 31st vconfs
- reviewed VOEvent-2.1, MANGO-1.0, DocRegExt-1.0 RCF status --> forwarded to Exec for approval
- DataOrigin-1.2 has been Endorsed by TCG (document should appear soon online)
- discussing it, EN raison d'etre and (optional) review process turned out to be unclear: needs discussion (DocStd based)
- connection among DM and the other WGs still needs to be discussed, a workshop seems unfeasible, need to find a strategy there
- interop preparation: ongoing (quite a bunch of plenaries)
- maybe need a 2nd announcement?
- IGs to CSP interfacing: some discussion, some feedback (but it's not in TCG hands)
- TCG members have been alerted about the expiration dates of some of the roles
