Convo from the Google Doc, to continue here:

Simon Li: I'm coming around to the idea of not endorsing anything at the moment -just reject and approve.

Will Crocombe: Yes, keep is simple. And what's the difference between approve and endorse anyway? They're both a thumbs up.

David Sarmiento: I think there is value in not only thumbing up and sharing, and we can try to have that from the beginning.

To answer the comment on what it means I think it should mean the "formal opinion of the UK TRE Community"

Balint DARE UK: My sense is that we should approve or reject outputs only and leave out official 'endorsement' - I suspect the community will organically support/adopt/promote outputs that individually or collectively thinks are worthwhile or valuable and not otherwise, without the need for a top-down mechanism

Simon Li: It's still not clear to me what endorse means.... for example if we "endorse" a standard or workflow, do we have to consider de-endorsing it if it's later superceded by something better so is no longer best practice? Or does it remain "endorsed" because it was good at the time even though it's no longer relevant?

Simon Li: Discussed today: "Endorse" needs to be well defined. Can we omit this from v1, and leave the discussion of endorsement for a future update? Given the lifetime of WGs I don't think the need to endorse something is so urgent it needs to block the initial document.
