Look very good - Thanks @akoshunyadi

We need to add @hdamker in the loop for a check before to add release management as reviewer.

@bigludo7 thanks, but actually I'm acting here more on behalf of the RM team.

@akoshunyadi Looks good to me, except the README section "Release Information". You now left no information at all here. What other APIs have done:

• keeping information about the latest public release with the list of APIs and the direct links
• followed by two lines:

* Former releases and pre-releases of this repository are available in https://github.com/camaraproject/§repo_name§/releases
* For changes see [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/camaraproject/§repo_name§/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md)

An example you can find in release PR of HomeDeviceQod.

Alternative (if you don't want to have the latest release mentioned) - but then the four APIs are not mentioned in the README:

* The latest release is available in https://github.com/camaraproject/§repo_name§/releases/latest
* Other releases and pre-release are available in https://github.com/camaraproject/§repo_name§/releases
* For changes see [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/camaraproject/§repo_name§/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md)

@hdamker actually the latest release line is still there, I only removed the block with the latest prerelease

Great works @akoshunyadi
One small comment, probably the checklist should be aligned with https://github.com/camaraproject/ReleaseManagement/blob/main/documentation/API-Readiness-Checklist.md meaning that we should have the magic sentences down and link.

Not a blocker for me but for global consistency.

@bigludo7 actually I removed that filling aid because I thought it's only for the first editor... this is what I saw in some other subprojects e.g. DeviceLocation
The Note and the link to the template are still there.

[bigludo7]

LGTM !
Thanks for the hard work

One small point: I did not find this text https://github.com/camaraproject/Commonalities/blob/main/documentation/API-design-guidelines.md#appendix-a-infodescription-template-for-device-identification-from-access-token in the spec files.

@akoshunyadi I think the comment was that the API-Readiness-Checklist.md should have the actual clickable links in the table, rather than just text. Something to take that up for the next release.
