It’s not as simple as just dropping one slot. You need to remember that there are people from East Asia, South Asia, Europe and both coasts of America interested in participating. Each meeting, someone is going to have a sucky time, so the goal should be to make sure the suckiness is both shared fairly and minimised.
You also need to start doing as much discussion as possible on Discourse and GitLab, which means you and other members who do pay attention to Discourse and GitLab need to encourage, at every opportunity, those who do not pay attention to Discourse and GitLab to do so. The amount of discussion has been improving recently but it’s still not great (the maps WG is doing the best here, too). Following and contributing to Discourse and GitLab discussion should be a daily habit for those involved in the working group’s work. The WG meetings should mainly be a chance to clear up any issues that need to be discussed by voice. Not being able to attend a particular working group meeting should only be a problem if you are particularly close to an issue to be discussed, in which case the WG leaders have a responsibility to defer that item to the next meeting or set up an extra meeting to discuss it.
Of course you are correct. I did not mean to imply we should drop the time just because I could not attend. I was concerned that the new time was the reason only TierIV members were available for the last meeting. Though it is likely other working group members had other responsibilities preventing them from attending unrelated to the time.

I can’t make this meeting, so here’s my report.
I put up an initial PR for the lanelet2 projector using Proj. The lanelet2 maintainers had a few questions and I am waiting to hear back based on my responses.
From the meeting - some questions regarding map/routing requirements:
Extent of autonomous operation
complete identification of possible paths
if a simple loop - always moving in same direction?
if perception algorithm requires: the distance from possible paths that other vehicles moving along intersecting paths should be detected
Define Pickup/drop off points, number of and location of parking spaces
pickup/dropoff points are either within existing lane or parallel (and adjacent to lanes) ?
can we assume pickup/dropoff points are set (either always empty - or simply wait until they become empty)? (plan to an exact location, not a general area)
can we assume specific parking space is given as input to planner?
will moving into/out-off pickup/drop-off points or parking spaces require turning left against oncoming traffic? or only to the right side?
Thank you for the people who have attended to the meeting, and I apologize to the people who would’ve participated if announcement was made earlier. I will post the minutes and recording tomorrow.
First of all, thank you all for all the works you have put in to the WG.
Thinking about the overlaps between Autonomy Software WG, we have decided to suspend the meeting until the AVP demo is over. We are planning to resume once in two week meeting after the demo is over.
See Suspension of Maps and Routing Working Group for the details.
If any of you have particular topic that you would like to discuss, feel free to propose on this discourse thread (or create a new one). We can even set a zoom meeting for the topic if that is more reasonable than text-based discussion.
