+## Meeting Notes - 2020.12.02 Standards Working Group Strategic brainstorming session
+
+**Present:** Mike Samuel, Richard Gibson, Brian Kardell, Jordan Harband, Jory Burson, Eemeli Aro, Michael Champion, Sendil Kumar, Robin Ginn
+
+This meeting was not recorded and lightly noted to make space for free discussion. 
+
+### Intro/Welcome
+- Reviewed questions/prompts and limited survey data: https://hackmd.io/bz9SKl87SYCIECAXi4zOGA
+
+### Discussion:
+
+- Who are we? How do we define our scope? Who is interested?
+    - We need to fit into the projects' own rhythm, meet them where they are. We could do some quarterly information sharing?
+ - Who are our core constituencies?
+    - Project Maintainers / Leaders
+    - users of our open source projects
+    - end users 
+- Where are we on the scale of "consumption of" and "activism in" standards? e.g. do we ever imagine developing standards inside OpenJS Foundation?
+    - An example from messageformat, that the latter could be needed/useful
+    - Useful to identify and shore up the pieces that appear to "fall through the cracks" between existing working groups
+    - **Takeaway:** we tend toward activism in participation and would be interested in providing a standardization path for our projects
+
+### Strategic Direction(s) Ideas
+1. OpenJS Foundation is a place to develop standards proposals / workstreams which are being missed by the bigger SDOs - "Fill the Cracks"
+1. OpenJS Foundation is a place where the JS Community convenes to build & develop opinions for different proposals which are active in an SDO
+1. OpenJS Foundation is a place for discovery of "standard stacks" e.g. we do analysis of our projects to present common pathways / approaches
+    - "Does anyone else; or is it just me" type process or forum (we could expand on this from an educational perspective and post blogs "Are you experiencing X, you might be entitled to compensation etc")
+1. OpenJS Foundation is a place where projects with standards-related goals (AMP, Node) receive support for their work, and where folks in those project groups cross-collaborate
+1.  OpenJS Foundation is a place where people can learn and begin to onboard into standards development
+    - Including programs to support and mentor people to become (chairs, editors, note-takers, etc)
+    - Hub for materials around presenting on certain standards proposals / issues - create(ing) ambassadors
+    - Hub for getting involved with other educational works (e.g. Standards in 2 minutes)
+1. OpenJS Foundation helps make standards bodies nicer places to do work (no jerks!)
+    - "what can the openjs foundation do to make standards development "NICER" in 2021"
+
+### Ideas for Action
+- Meet with Project Maintainers to discuss the Strategic Direction Ideas above and gather input on which direction(s) are most appealing
+- interview our projects to see which projects are experiencing shared problems/issues/challenges (research) - get a sense to develop a bigger picture similar to the TAG. RQ - is there something we can proactively assess/review 
+- Recruit a rep from each project to participate in standards wg
+- Assess:
+    - What is an example of something we can do? What is an example of something we can't do?
+    - What do we have the best/most resources to do?
+    - What should we do?
+- create an FAQ for questions / answers based on profile
+    - "I am a community member with a proposal for {tc39}"
+    - "I want to discover standards work"
+    - "I think {module blocks} are a good idea, how do I build consensus for this across the OpenJS Foundation projects?"
+    - "I want to standardize {X}"
+    - "I want to follow developments in {some standards body} in order to determine if I would like to get involved"
+    - "I want to stay abreast of things at {late stage} standards"
