Re: ViWI Task Force calls

Hi Hira-san,

For the goals please see Rudi's email from 1 November.

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-automotive/2016Nov/0004.html

The scope will be clearer after the TF has had a chance to meet. At our
previous WG call/mini-f2f some possible scope ideas were mentioned
including collecting use cases to see how they both handle them,
architecture discussion (including review the previous time Auto WG
talked to W3C TAG), etc.

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-automotive/2017Jan/0015.html

We are becoming more aware of other approaches that are very similar to
these two. PSA+IBM has one, AGL another, I understand Nissan a third
and hearing of possibly more. We have reached out to PSA and AGL has
recently contacted us. Clearly having a single approach would be best
as it would mean the standard would be more widely implemented and
adopted.

There is no predefined decision on a converged architecture so it would
be premature to say it would be RESTful although from the earlier TAG
discussion, the WG's earlier interest in REST (in addition to sockets)
it is possible.


We have not discussed a moderator but have at least two chairs already
planning to be a part.

There is no urgency, it has been nearly three months since we first
discussed this. There was interest in getting started and with a weekly
cadence call.  Often holidays fall on Mondays and suspect when that is
the case the meeting will be canceled. Tomorrow is a US holiday so I
think a few people might not make the preliminary call. I will attend.
If a TF wants to put energy into an effort they should be allowed and
encouraged. We had editors of both VISS and ViWi on the last BG call
who all indicated Mondays were good for them. This is an initial call
and it is possible for the schedule to change.

I am well aware of the VISS work. If you reread Rudi's mail you will
note that work it to proceed unhindered within the WG while the BG
explores possible future convergence. I imagine it will work that the
TF may come up with a path forward, regularly reporting to the larger
BG and collectively we will agree on a decision on how to proceed. TF
can only make recommendations and BG/WG decisions.

There is no name given to the TF. ViWi is the name of Member submission
from VW but I think we would come up with a more appropriate name for a
collaborative/combined effort if that is the final outcome.

I hope that answers your concerns and welcome a call with you directly
at a time convenient for you to discuss further.

Regards,
