Candidate topics for Fall AC 2020
CEO Overview (Jeff)
- General update to share broadly what W3C is doing
- TÇ: I think AC appreciates a regular brief CEO update, also helps set tone for the meeting
Inclusion and diversity at W3C, Belonging at W3C (Tzviya)
- CW: I'm for this topic if it has asks for Members: I'm concerned it will end up as tone-deaf virtue signalling if it doesn't really speak to a plan. +1 TÇ
- Practical topics: what can AC do to help improve diversity; what can W3C do to help AC do it etc.
- Goal: Move from talk to action on inclusion and diversity, make people aware of the problems that exist and how we make sure we get serious input from as broad a slice of the membership as possible
Financial Update (Eric / Bill)
Legal Entity Update
- Where we are, what's still pending, areas of work/action/research, highlight choices facing the consortium, mention plan on Director-free and how it connects to LE; connect to financial update
- Goal: Share information and thinking that was presented to AB + substantial update from work in July/August, where we are and where we might be as an independent LE
MiniApps (Judy / Xiaoqian Wu)
- Goal: Discuss the opportunity to embrace a huge adjacent ecosystem to the web platform. Discuss architecture issues.
Approaches to Privacy: Privacy CG & WebAdv
- Goal: Discuss different approaches to question of privacy
Process 2021 (Florian)
- Notably Registries and Tooling, Director-free movement, anything else that is ready to be covered or needs input
- Goal: Announce current topics, raise awareness of issues, encourage participation
Horizontal Review (if changes are coming)
- Goal: Disseminate information about new processes and procedures, if any; or raise issues to AC if necessary
W3C Approach to Security (? / Sam Weiler)
- Update on W3C's approach to security, security HR (and why there is not an established group with responsibility for it)
- Goal: Describe how W3c addresses security review so people know what we do and don't have, and why it is like that
- Combine with HR topic if presenters believe this is appropriate
Other Updates
- Strategy funnel
- Goal: Explain what has moved in the pipeline, describe the overall strategy for managing the balance of work
- Comment: TÇ+FR+ES:this should be a blog post update
- TAG overview
- Comments: TÇ:maybe ask the TAG if they want to do this first? EE:Agreed. Just didn't want it to fall off the radar.
- Next big thing report
- should be a summary sent to AC forum instead
Methods to make the Q&A session more successful
- ask presenters to list questions in their pre-recorded sessions on which the AC feedback is sought
- bring back these questions into the live session
- create sub-groups during the live sessions to allow for less intimidating space for discussions
- highlight the existence of less formal time for discussions before/after the meeting so that people can plan for this in their calendar
- Before each topic or set of topics: plan a short time to give the highlights (a few slides welcome) in order to engage and steer the conversation before the Q&A
- Engage the whole audience by suggesting one or two polls during the sessions
