<dauwhe> RRSAgent: make logs public

<liisamk> you made it!

<tzviya> yes :)

may have added a space there

thank you, Mr. Cramer

scribe nick Brian

<tzviya> scribenick: Brian

thanks Tzviya

Liisa: any comments on EPUB 3.2 from Dave?

Dave: soliciting feedback from subgroups, GitHub issues reporting

<Karen> yes, please

Dave: expect updates and issues resolution will continue for another month
... after that, will be developed as a CG note from the CG

October 1 goal for issues resolution, then work out approval in October

Dave: nice to be done before TPAC (fly to France trimphant)

Liisamk: asks Tzviya for an update on RFP

Tzviya: reviewed four proposals
... based on those received, recommending DAISY as the selected partner
... DAISY proposal was thorough and offered a realistic timeline
... FYI for the PBG; steering committee will decide
... open for questions

Bill_Kasdorf: clear-cut choice or hard-to-make choice?

Tzviya: experienced review committee outlined how they made decision; relatively clear-cut decision
... DAISY indicated how this would integrate with existing workflows and toolchains

dauwhe: committee did a thorough job

liisamk: give them credit? [consensus yes]

<Bill_Kasdorf> * Bill K didn't realize Liza Daly was involved--great!

<tzviya> Romain Deltour, Brady Duga, Tobias Fischer, and Liza Daly

dauwhe: call them the EPUBCHECK All Stars

liisamk: does this mean EPUBCHECK will accommodate/support more accessibility features in the tool?

george: plan to keep accessibility checker separate from EPUBCHECK at this point. Technical team may make other recommendations, but separate for now

tzviya: echoes George

liisamk: governance update on EPUBCHECK?

tzviya: Luc Adrain will lead oversight committee, contracts - tzviya will also work on it. Contact either for participation

liisamk: for the BG, CG - spend some time with GitHub repository to make sure requirements we need to meet are included
... Amazon joined the w3c; not everyone at Amazon is aware
... Amazon is interested in influencing the EPUBCHECK development work

tzviya: looking to engage Amazon rep(s) where possible

liisamk: Amazon looking for more than "checking"; would like to include page numbers

karen: Amazon joined in July; staff member active in immersive web effort
... Alan Bird (w3c) working with Amazon to present opportunities beyond immersive web
... don't bombard them quite yet

liisamk: more reason to make sure GitHub issues are addressed

tzviya: diff document needs to be built; compare to 3.1 or 3.0? volunteers to write?

dauwhe: check on scope of creating the diff document first
... volunteers can/may follow

liisamk: anyone who can update on ISO work? [no answer]

george: can try to give an answer. [Wrangles loud dog]
... Sep 12 in redmond is next ISO meeting. Several items to be presented
... in Korea, 3.0.1 is the national standard and can be fast-tracked (has been proposed; move through ISO next)
... in addition, in Korea and elsewhere, desire for standard DRM based on work of LCP
... nations have provided comments, plus George asking for no forking, same specs, not vendor DRM, don't break accessibility
... part one and part two for archiving - comments remain open

tzviya: have sent feedback to ISO in the past; wondering how responsive they have been on this effort

George: biggest annoyance with the ISO process. NISO community doesn't talk to us. Makoto is liaison from w3c to ISO, will be at the Redmond meeting
... going to submit comments for best practices for archiving
... great if we could have a better way to work with specifications developed with other parties
... not sure how to make that happen

liisamk: do we have any other reps besides Makoto? uncertain because Makoto not present today
... have been asked to find someone for PRH

George: NISO can place people on ISO groups. NISO suggested DAISY/george for DRM
... we could volunteer ourselves to be reviewers
... still do not have a direct relationship between development and standards (ISO) efforts

<dauwhe_> Brian: Todd Carpenter talked to me today

<dauwhe_> ... he was looking for people to join the groups

<dauwhe_> ... George had suggested a candidate

<dauwhe_> ... BISG is a member of NISO so we can suggest people to them

<dauwhe_> ... I just need to make sure that we can find someone who can do the work

<dauwhe_> ... I'll keep the BG informed

<dauwhe_> ... the 2nd thing I was going to suggest...

<dauwhe_> ... we have separate effort for outreach and coordination with other national and international organizations

<dauwhe_> ... it's Bill_Kasdorf, Daihei, and Makoto

<dauwhe_> ... might be a good place to tackle that

bill_kasdorf: NISO/ISO membership is a restriction

George: I was put forward as an employee of DAISY (has to be staff). Limitation on representation
... makes it more difficult

<Daihei> q;

<Daihei> q

echo echo echo echo echo

daihei: Yoshi-san and Daihei will speak with Makoto, gather relevant information, share information in follow-up

liisamk: great plan
... any other business?

bill_kasdorf: fundraising?

EPUB Check Fundraising

liisamk: tzviya?

Tzviya: follow up meeting on Friday; website to follow. Cautiously optimistic will be ready in week or two, but may be longer

<tzviya> public-publishing-sc@w3.org

Tzviya: if you want to commit an amount in advance of the website going live, contact Luc Adrain or Tzviya. Can be anonymous, or could be pomp & circumstance
... have $46K committed to date; need a lot more than that

liisamk: levels for EPUBCheck Fundraising?

Garth: everyone should give at the $20K level

<Karen> Leadership Sponsors: US$20,000 or more

<Karen> Sustaining Sponsors: US$15,000-19,999

<Karen> Supporting Sponsors: US$10,000-14,999

<Karen> Friend: US$5,000-9,999

<Karen> Helper: US$1,000-$4,999

<Karen> Or, whatever amount is good for you!

tzviya: notes levels (ranges up to $20K; can donate more than $20K or less than $1K)

liisamk: hoping for widespread participation at any level
... tax-deductible?

tzviya: not clear yet; will check on Friday

liisamk: TPAC?

TPAC

tzviya: adding / planning session at TPAC on BG, CG work

<tzviya> https://www.w3.org/2018/10/TPAC/

tzviya: depends on turnout from BG

<liisamk> liisa plans to be at TPAC, finalizing approvals

Garth: session is an opportunity for people not intimately involved in WG to respond (plaudits, critiques, conversation)
... part of what was envisioned as part of the merger

<dauwhe_> dauwhe will be there

liisamk: if you're planning to attend, let us know

this meeting overlaps with a board meeting and a BISG higher-ed event :(

liisamk: thanks everyone

<dauwhe_> RRSAgent: draft minutes
