Hi Robert,
I wanted to follow up from yesterday's Business Group call about your
questions regarding electric vehicles and W3C work.
At the F2F in Paris we resolved we would move away from our current
vehicle data spec in favor of the vehicle signal spec being worked on
at Genivi and championed by JLR.

It is here that you and Volker should submit your proposed additions
that he presented for electric vehicles. I raised that at the time and
Magnus Feuer(JLR) was very receptive.
Also the two groups we have at W3C, the Automotive Working Group (WG)
and the Automotive Web Platform Business Group (BG) have different
areas of focus at present with the former being more rigidly chartered.
Vehicle API and signals specs belong in the WG. The BG is more of an
incubator with Location Based Services, Media Tuning and possibly
Software Over the Air updates being discussed.
