I'd like to see the following people, who have experience with 
high-level APIs, in attendance:

- Some Google folks from Keyczar (is Weiss still on it?)
- Some NACL folks - Daniel J. Bernstein
- Matthew Green
- Is Emily Stark coming? If not, ideally, if he can spare the time, Dan 
Boneh or Mike Hamburg

I think we should post the open invite on W3C blog and email to crypto 
mailing lists.
