Re: Minutes Re: agenda: HTML-A11Y Task Force, 08 February at 16:00Z

Steve, Leonie, et al;

Just in case it wasn't clear from the minutes, the reason an F2F on the
U.S. 
West Coast is being discussed is that it has already been determined
that both the HTML and Web Apps WGs will be meeting somewhere in the
Silicon Valley area, probably the week of April 8.

I would note that TPAC 2012, in the early November time frame, is set
for Lyons, France and we should expect an TF F2F at that time and place.

Do either of you see a pressing need for an earlier TF F2F in Europe?
Specifics might help the conversation, but any such F2F would
necessarily occur apart from the meetings of the other two WGs.
