+### Description
+
+The Client / RUM Sig is looking to finalize, complete and resolve the outstanding issues / PR's that exist around the Event API / SDK and the Semantic Conventions that defines what an "event" is.
+
+### Project Board
+
+Project Board: https://github.com/orgs/open-telemetry/projects/65
+
+### Deliverables
+
+Resolve the outstanding Event Issues / PR's which will define
+
+* Refine / stabilize event data model describing what an event is, the semantic meaning of event fields, and how they are sent over the network.
+* Pave the way for defining event semantic conventions, allowing their schemas to be described in YAML and incorporated into build-tools.
+* Define select event semantic conventions, establishing patterns for future event semantic conventions to follow.
+* Refine / stabilize event API and any associated features in the SDK.
+
+#### Required staffing
+
+* Need: more domain experts willing to define the OTel Event standard
+* Need: engineers willing to write prototypes in at least one more language other than JavaScript. Language should be fairly different from JavaScript.
+* Need: maintainers or approvers from those languages committed to reviewing the prototypes.
