🎥 5'17": MOTION: As per Community Specification License process §4: Specification development process, I move to promote the Endorsement Assertion from draft to approved (version 1.0 final) status:

4.2. Draft. Each Pre-Draft document of a Working Group must first be Approved to become a “Draft Specification.” Once the Working Group approves a document as a Draft Specification, the Draft Specification becomes the basis for all going forward work on that specification.

4.3. Working Group Approval. Once a Working Group believes it has achieved the objectives for its specification as described in the Scope, it will Approve that Draft Specification and progress it to “Approved Specification” status.

— Community Specification License :: Governance Policy

OUTCOME: Defer to next meeting.
