A Better Interface Design for Interaction Between the BG and IG (Draft)
Basic Concept of the Groups
In a nutshell
- IG: Center of W3C Web and TV activity
- BG: W3C Entry point for broadcasters, provider of learning opportunities and support
Learning Materials and Newbie Support for W3C Newcomers
- IG: Not Available
- BG: Available
Fees
- IG: up to USD77k/year
- BG: USD10k/year/group
Scope
- IG: TV in a generic sense, including broadcasting
- BG: broadcasting
Document Publisher
- IG: W3C
- BG: BG (Not W3C)
Types of Target Documents
- IG: Use Cases, Requirements, Gap Analyses, and Draft Technical Solutions
- BG: Business Level Use Cases, Notes
Document License
- IG: W3C Document License
- BG: W3C CLA / FLA
Interaction with other W3C groups
- IG: Any interaction allowed
- BG: Chair-to-chair communication mechanism only
Basic group overlap policy
- Avoid overlap of types of documents
- Avoid event-scheduling conflicts
- Discourage ML cross-posting with chair's intervention
- Share formatting for docs in the event of possible future merges
- Outsource some tasks, such as use cases related to broadcasting, from the IG to the BG. The BG publishes its output as a BG specification (under CLA/FLA) and the IG merges it into their document(s) (under W3C Document License).
- Create a joint task force to deal efficiently with a common topic. Members from the BG publish their contribution as a BG specification. The joint task force merges the BG specification and output from IG members into IG document(s). If members from both groups work tightly on a specific topic and IG/BG boundaries are not clear, this work is done under the IG and is subject to W3C Document License.
- Maintain good communication between chairs
- The BG always encourages BG-only members to become full W3C members through the IG. The IG always helps BG-only members deepen their understanding of W3C Web and TV activity
- Both groups review each other's public drafts
Instances
Collaborative f2f meetings during TPAC
- The BG f2f on Monday, the IG f2f on Tuesday
- The BG passes use-case deliverables from its f2f to the IG f2f meeting
- The BG-only members join selected sessions of the IG f2f as observers
