Here's a few links, there may be more but this is a start:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2012Aug/0142.html
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2012Aug/0346.html
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-wg-announce/2012JulSep/0023.html
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2012Sep/0020.html

Additionally I will share that the 3 HTML WG co-chairs flew to Boston to 
meet with Jeff Jaffe, Tim Berners-Lee, Philippe Le Hegaret, and Judy 
Brewer.  Janina participated via phone.

This plan is the outcome of those discussions:

The one thing I want to be careful to note: while Judy and Janina have 
co-signed the plan, neither Jeff nor Tim have signed off on it just yet. 
  It truly is a draft.  I'm keeping track of known items to be worked, 
and that includes at least one known and acknowledged bug.  I would 
expect that we will present a second draft next week.
