This meeting

   Nigel: we have some status on WebVTT to cover

   Gary: not much progress. let's drop it.

   Nigel: an issue on IMSC
   … and a PR on TTML2
   … and status update on charter
   … any other business?

   Pierre: there is 1127 on TTML2

   Nigel: does it need prep?

   Pierre: would be good to start the discussion on how to extend
   TTML2

   Nigel: ok

   Pierre: also we need to approve the corrections on IMSC 1.1

   Nigel: ok.

   Pierre: those were typos in IMSC 1.1

   Pierre: the PRs on IMSC 1.2 needs to be backported on IMSC 1.1

   Pierre: also TPAC prep

tts:extent, region and the style element imsc#475

   Nigel: that's IMSC issue #475

   <nigel> github: [15]https://github.com/w3c/imsc/issues/475

     [15] https://github.com/w3c/imsc/issues/475

   Nigel: one of them if whether it's ok to include an element
   style
   … and the syntax permitted in the extend attribute
   … 2 possible interpretation in the spec

   <nigel> [16]§8.4.2 of IMSC 1.1

     [16] https://www.w3.org/TR/ttml-imsc1.1/#text-extent-region

   [...]

   Glenn: two 2 issues, style element child of region
   … and one of the values of extend
   … constrained by #extend-region

   Nigel: let's settle the most recent one first
   … values of the extend attribute
   … does anyone disagree that the intent was to disallow auto?

   Pierre: looked back at my notes and that was the case

   Nigel: are you clear on the editorial change?

   Pierre: happy to clarify this in my proposal. it's there
   already

   Glenn: one alternative: ...

   Pierre: that proposal doesn't take into account the issue
   raised my Cyril. to permit referenced styling as well as nested

   Glenn: ok. happy to amend my proposal

   Pierre: I'll take that into account when generating the PR

   Nigel: ok. we prohibit auto and we allow nested style element
   … is that true for extend origin?
   … we talk about position attributes...
   … the problem is the constraint on the element

   Pierre: we could interpret it as forbidding referencial and
   nested style. same thing for position.

   Nigel: whether it's style or region doesn't make a difference.

   Pierre: if we use the term specified value, we'll want to do
   the same for origin and position

   Pierre: what about default region?
   … my proposal addresses it as well

   Nigel: I'll review it in the PR

   Pierre: in an image profile, there must be a region. a default
   region can only exist if there is no images
   … there is text related to width/height depending on the region
   element, thus implying there is a region

   Nigel: we should adjust to say it's the specified extent of the
   region element...

   Pierre: I'll address it in the PR as well

   Nigel: summary: Pierre will create a PR to address all of the
   points on the issue

corrections for IMSC 1.1

   <nigel> github-bot, end topic

   [17]email

     [17] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-tt/2019Jun/0075.html

   Pierre: apply those commits to the IMSC 1 REC

   Nigel: first one fix the reference to TTML2. second fixes a bug
   in a regex.
   … second one is informative

   Proposal: update the IMSC 1.1 Recommendation with the fixes in
   [18]https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-tt/2019Jun/
   0075.html

     [18] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-tt/2019Jun/0075.html

   Glenn: should we have an errata for those?

   Nigel: we do have an errata process

   Plh: the changes were minor enough not to require through the
   errata

   Resolved: update the IMSC 1.1 Rec

TTML2 #1101

   <nigel> github: [19]https://github.com/w3c/ttml2/pull/1101

     [19] https://github.com/w3c/ttml2/pull/1101

   Nigel: proposal is to move ahead with the changes but with
   shortening the text in the note

   Proposal: make the changes in #1101 with a shorter note
   reference

   Resolved

   Glenn: I'll need someone to approve the PR

   Nigel: sure
   … was just holding until we have group consensus. will merge
   as-is.
   … will close relevant issues as well

   Pierre: I guess we'll close #1100 and part of #1043
   … do we want to keep #1043 but narrow the scope to the style
   properties?
   … not all style properties have been taken care of
   … so we open a new issue or narrow #1043

   Nigel: let's open a new one
   … will need some discussion with the CSS WG
   … make sure to double check #0143 before closing it and open a
   new one.

   Glenn: ok to close #1043. also we should have 3 separate issues
   for the style properties
   … will be a lot easier
   … I would prefer to be the one to create them

   Pierre: sure.

   Pierre: we should close #1071

   Nigel: ok

   Pierre: I'll wait for #1100 to be closed and the 3 news ones to
   be open before closing #1071

   Glenn: let's reopen #1089
   … I'll merge 1101 and 1089 after the call

   Pierre: for bidi, you might want to create one issue instead of
   2

   Glenn: sure.

   Nigel: looking #1127

   <nigel> github-bot, end topic

Supporting "not within an EM" at text-combine-upright and
tts:textCombine for 縦中横 'tate-chu-yoko' ttml2#1127

   <nigel> github: [20]https://github.com/w3c/ttml2/issues/1127

     [20] https://github.com/w3c/ttml2/issues/1127

   Glenn: this started as a question which I answered with the
   current state. we allow both.
   … impls can choose any techniques they want
   … we don't give a preference
   … the commenter asked for an enhancement
   … so it's a request for a new feature
   … should be added to TTML3
   … comes under our ruby extension module
   … but we would be ahead of CSS
   … so, couldn't translate into CSS if we do this

   Nigel: requirement is for enhancement for japanese subtitles

   <nigel> [21]Enhancements for Japanese subtitles

     [21] https://github.com/w3c/tt-reqs/issues/12

   Nigel: we agreed to work with the CSS Working Group on this
   requirement

   Pierre: sounds good.
   … I think it's a use case. does anybody think it's not a valid
   use case?

   Glenn: I worked in the print industry in the past, with
   explicit author control for this type of behaviors
   … it's out there in the industry
   … content creators would think they should be be able to do the
   same.
   … at the same time, TTMl2 is reasonable
   … some impls will go outside the em
   … so I'm ok to keep as-is but also ok with enhancing if CSS are
   ok with it

   Pierre: would be good to share your experience
   … citing those use cases will be important to help the CSS WG
   make a decision

   Glenn: sure

   Glenn: Steve Zilles did research on this in the past and wrote
   documents about this

   Pierre: let's add the data points before communicating with the
   CSS WG

   Glenn: ok

   <nigel> SUMMARY: TTWG will look at this in the context of a
   future Japanese enhancement module for TTML, in consultation
   with the CSS WG

   <nigel> github-bot, end topic

   Pierre: can we open an issue on the TTWG repo on those CSS
   issues?
   … we have on text level 4
   … #50

   [22]Check with CSS WG about Text Level 4

   Nigel: I opened #52

Charter status

   plh: Aim to get submission to AC on Wednesday next week. Under
   review by W3M.
   … I sent two pull requests, one going against the views of the
   group about the charter template.
   … The HR wording surprised people, so I thought we should
   revert.
   … I made it as a pull request. I am aware that our strategy
   team talked about it earlier this week
   … so I don't know which wording will be sent for review.
   … At the end of the day you guys will have another chance to
   push back during the AC review.
   … Another piece of info - the accessibility people never
   commented on the Charter even though I didn't ask them.
   … They got scared about the danmaku proposal in the Chinese IG
   charter.
   … I told them I believe the new Charter will allow TTWG to work
   on it without rechartering.
   … My position is until we know it is an actual thing for the
   TTWG we should not list it in the Charter.
   … And we don't have a document to link to.

   Pierre: A number of us have tried to get more information even
   privately but have not got any information.

   plh: The Chinese IG is working on translating their document
   into English.
   … We want to motivate them to come to TPAC prepared.
   … It could also be in the scope of the Media WG because their
   proposal mentions APIs.
   … It is very much up in the air still.

   Pierre: I don't see APIs being outside the scope of this group.

   Philippe: Current thinking is to have the discussion at TPAC.
   … Our Chinese team has been reaching out to the Media WG but it
   is quite new so it may take a while.
   … We should either host a meeting during the TTWG session at
   TPAC or go to the Media WG room.
   … We want the Chinese IG to present their proposal.

   Pierre: I will be at TPAC Tuesday through Thursday.

   plh: I will try to make sure it happens on Thursday
   … I can't offer Wednesday because people don't like reserved
   spaces during the breakout
   … Of course someone could raise it on the Wednesday at the time

   Glenn: On APIs we actually had two API draft documents that
   never went anywhere in TTML2 for defining APIs for
   … a TimedTextCue interface based on Text Track Cue, so we did
   start some work before.

   plh: Also for those APIs depending on how much they
   monkey-patch the HTML algorithm the WHATWG may claim it is
   … part of HTML.

   Pierre: That could be an end result but we have tried to work
   so hard to align the work of timed text in this group so
   … we should not go backwards, even if we submit a complete
   proposal to the HTML WG or WHATWG or whatever.

   plh: I expect us to make good progress on TPAC but not to
   affect our Charter.
   … Unless you guys tell us otherwise.

   Nigel: I don't expect that, because we can't - we don't even
   know the requirements.

   plh: OK. The accessibility guys are excited about it and want
   to be part of the discussion.

   Pierre: We will need to coordinate with Digital Cinema as we
   have done before because that is widely used in China.

Next meeting

   <plh> Nigel: let's defer TPAC prep to next week

   Pierre: Thanks everyone. [adjourns meeting]
   … PS thank you Philippe for scribing
