...: "Not sure how people have followed the charter. There have been quite a few yes votes, but a few objections that we've been working through. there are some proposed updates - and I'll turn it over to ivan about the status and pending changes that should be sufficient enough to not require us to re-vote."

16:12:26 [NickRuffilo]
Ivan: "Lets begin with a few numbers. At this moment, unless I missed someone - we have 20 votes in. All are positive (accept the charter as is with or without comments). Which is a nice number, but it has some missing things. There are only 3 at this moment, 3 TPI members. We should have much more than that, as the presence of the publishing industry as part of the voters is essential.
16:12:26 [NickRuffilo]
Even among the regular members, we missed the votes of Pearson and Wiley - the big ones on the publishing. We also miss the votes of a few others. Also some members who are active/moderately active and votes would be important. monotype, antenna house, ..."
16:12:56 [NickRuffilo]
... " And adobe. These are all active members of this group and it would be important to have a vote in. I will try to get to Hugh McGuire."
16:13:10 [NickRuffilo]
Garth: "I just sent out a nudge to vote for the charter in email."
16:13:24 [NickRuffilo]
Vlad: "I will look at it and give it attention later today>"
16:13:51 [NickRuffilo]
Ivan: "I have a list of members I have lobbied, and some i will. Is there anyone from Wiley today? Otherwise I can reach out via email."

16:16:03 [NickRuffilo]
Ivan: "That's there. In terms of numbers, we are fine, in terms of the right spread of members, we are still waiting. Where it becomes more complicated is that we have 2 more votes that came in a week ago that are from vivliostyle and disruptive innovations which had some objections. We are proposing changes. I have made a set of changes as a git-hub pull request that was done last week. It
16:16:03 [NickRuffilo]
might have been thursday, but they were mainly in response to disruptive innovations. I think the most important thing was that the charter clearly gave the impression that it's the proto first-public-draft of what we want to do - it's a working draft and what we want to do."
16:16:10 [NickRuffilo]
Garth: "Yes, it's on the agenda."

16:17:46 [NickRuffilo]
Ivan: "The other question which came up which turns into stronger issues - was the role of packaging. Daniel was and is still strong in feeling that we should not standardize anything in packaging because similar work is going on in a different group. I made some changes in the charter that says this recommendation may be practically empty in case another working group in the consortium creates
16:17:46 [NickRuffilo]
the right document that we need. We recieved an answer from Daniel (link above) answer (in 2nd link)."
16:18:12 [NickRuffilo]
Ivan: "if you have anything to add to their side of this, that would be great."
16:18:58 [NickRuffilo]
Garth: "I believe you answered well. Unless there are substantive issues against the conversation between Daniel and Ivan, we may be better off not expanding... we're driving to a good conclusion, not turning it into an email storm is probably a feature. "
16:21:11 [NickRuffilo]
Ivan: "That's true. There may have been some mistakes somewhere. For Vivlio style I'm not sure what's happening. I got some notes from them but it was more of a thanks than a confirmation. The plan is Rick Johnson and Bill will talk to him Face to face. The impression some of us had that this issue about the role of the PWP document may be similar to what Daniel said and that the changes
16:21:11 [NickRuffilo]
will also work for Florien, but we dont' know yet. The last thing and then i stop - we also got a big strange comment from Microsoft. MS officially abstained from the vote. They added a comment: 'We agree with what Vivliostyle and Disruptive Innovations said.' Which means that if we can come up with something the two like, we can go back to MS."
16:21:36 [NickRuffilo]
Garth: "Ivan, assuming we're all taking happy pills, with another round or two, the plan would be to integration those changes into the charter? "
16:21:49 [NickRuffilo]

16:23:55 [NickRuffilo]
Garth: "The next piece - topic - one of the confusions/complaints was that we had a document called a PWP that was an input doc, and one that is an output document, and something that was a WP. There was a reading of the charter where the PWP document that this group put together was the draft standards that would be output of this group. I am not sure that was our intention, so there was a
16:23:55 [NickRuffilo]
move to change the document produced by this group to be named different. Matt made a good suggestion, but what are we proposing?"

16:27:29 [NickRuffilo]
Garth: "That's one of the remaining thing on the document - is dividing the documents into different classes. The next topic is to divide publishing and the renamed PWP document that will add notes to the interest group."

Ivan: "it's exactly because of that. I think thats what we should do - publishing them as interest group notes, which sets their status clearly - the interest group may even republish. At the time being, it makes it clear. I think all that should change are the title and the editorial notes that we'll make it a note."

Assuming all that goes through, we'll keep with the F2F. Footnote 5 is the location in new york - a few blocks from NYPL. I got from Adobe a list of hotels - I don't think we can claim the adobe rate, but if
16:30:53 [NickRuffilo]
it's feasible for those hotels sooner rather than later, you might have access to better rates. "

ivan awesome. So I am trying to find information about getting my organization into the IG but couldn't.
16:39:37 [ivan]
which organization?
16:39:55 [ivan]
I mean, which is your organization:-)
16:41:56 [TravisMcCrea]
We are the Kopimist Church so not at the level of Adobe (though we are a world wide organization and my branch has offices in the US and Canada), but we work closely with ebook app developers to ensure that their apps are following the EPUB standard (and OPDS standards) as well as general advocacy for digital publishing.
16:42:50 [ivan]
The problem is that W3C groups are usually bound to W3C membership. That includes this Interest Group
16:43:05 [ivan]
And will also include the upcoming Working Group
16:43:43 [ivan]
If you have been a member of IDPF (have you?) then joining W3C at essentially the same level as IDPF is possible and that will give you the possibility to join the Working Group
16:47:36 [TravisMcCrea]
So basically apply and pay the membership fee for W3C and then I apply into this? What does the IG approval process look like? We were looking at the options of joining IDPF and Digital Publishing and I forget the reasons why but this seemed like a better use of our resources. Money is less of the issue as it is time commitments.
16:48:40 [ivan]
basically yes. But some additional things: IDPF does not exist any more, because IDPF and W3C has joined forces. So there is only W3C:-)
16:49:03 [ivan]
Once you have joined W3C you can join any group, including the IG, without any approval needed
16:49:12 [ivan]
your membership authorizes you to join any group
16:50:05 [ivan]
I do not deal with membership, though; you should contact my colleague Karen Myers karen@w3.org, and she will take care of you...
16:50:48 [TravisMcCrea]
:) That's probably why we decided to come here
16:51:25 [TravisMcCrea]
I know it was a discussion but it wasn't much of one that I was involved in. I will certainly do that, thanks for the information
16:52:52 [ivan]
sure, you are welcome
