* The OpenJS Foundation's relationship to this standards organization
* The date and location of the meeting or meetings
* If they will be attending in person or remotely
* The estimated cost to the foundation of their participation
* The scope of the work they plan to participate in

This issue should be labelled with `standards-agenda` and will be approved in the
next working group meeting via the consensus seeking process.
The moderator is responsible for recording the meeting notes, and sends it as a pull request after the meeting.
