MAVlink Governance Policy (discussion doc)
- "Unofficial" discussion of some high level concerns of the participants.
- Concern of reduced collaboration - "silo" development in dialects delivered as fait accompli.
  - Benefit that people working on first implementation in dialect can focus on the use cases that matter to real world case.
  - Having new functions kept in separate protocols might make it easier for them to share etc.
  - Think about ways of encouraging standarisation - that was the intent of "common" - libraries for re-use.
Command to allow geofence action to be set per-fence - FENCE_ACTION
- DONE AI Hamish Update to just build on top of existing ArduPilot options.
New instance xml markup. Good feature - was Don looped in?
- No - appeared without particular notice.
- Similarly some things appeared in common that were not properly shared. Makes coordination difficult.

FYI

Not discussed:

File-based protocols for params, missions, etc - Next steps Lorenz?
common: minor cleanup regarding scaled param5/param6 #1446 - is there a compromise?
