Another important case of a possibly-Specification document that's not totally clear is explainers.
Hi @hober,
It was intentional in the design of Community Groups that the CLA be limited to Specifications.
This is analogous to the Working Group patent policy, which applies to the text of Recommendations (and not test suites, discussion, code, etc.)
Not all Community Group Reports (e.g., explainers) are specifications. The goal was for the CLA to (only) cover those CG Reports that are specifications, that is: things that get implemented in code.

Okay, thanks for the clarification.
The CBGP says:
and the CLA uses the term Specification throughout.
I think this means that non-Specification documents, test suites, tutorials, code, and discussion within a CG are not covered by the CLA. Is this intentional?
See https://github.com/privacycg/privacycg.github.io/pull/14#discussion_r401258357 for a case of this concern coming up in the context of a CG.
