Vehicle Over the Air Updates API and/or Best Practices in Business Group

Paul and Adam,

I met with John Cain and other Arynga employees at CES in January.  They
have expressed interest in working on OTA update API at W3C, please see
excerpt from a recent email below.

At an upcoming Automotive Webplatform Business Group teleconference we
should see if there is interest from other participants in taking up
this work.  

John,

This would likely start in the Business Group that is acting as an
incubator and may later transition over the Working Group for any W3C
Recommendations Track work (standardization).

We should invite John for that agenda item.  I explained we will need
critical mass of active and interested parties in order to get this
started and encourage them to bring individuals from other organizations
into the discussion.  Anyone on welcome to reply to this thread to
indicate interest.

There has been past interest expressed in OTA, part of the initial
workshop summary.

We are interested in participating the W3C Automotive Working Group.
Arynga is willing to contribute to the development of Web API standards
that are relevant for the OTA as well as vehicle data and information.
We would like to support the standardization effort in building a safe
and secure Web platform for the connected car.
