[minutes] BPWG 2010-06-22

Hi,

The minutes of today's call are available at:
  http://www.w3.org/2010/06/22-bpwg-minutes.html

... and copied as raw meat below.


Resolution taken on the Mobile Web Application Best Practices and best practices 5. and 6. about informing user and allowing him to control the use of the network in a Web application:
  If we can't dig up implementation reports for these 2 by 30 June (prior to next call) then we will drop - otherwise we will remove and go back to LC with intention to jump to PR with these demoted to strong advisory note.

Resolution taken on extending the charter:
  The group requests a 4-month extension to bring the guidelines and the Mobile Web Application Best Practices to Recommendation.


Thanks,
Francois.

Mobile Web Application Best Practices

    Jo: Francois?

    Francois: Kai sent a new implementation report which is really good
    because it turned many yellow lights into green.

    THANKS KAI!

    Francois: there remain a few best practices for which we are lacking
    implementation reports. We need to decide what we do with that.
    Either we decide to remove a couple of BPs form the document,
    republish a LCWG then jump to PR after ~3 werks -OR- we think we
    will find reports for the remaining best practices and we find new
    implementation reports out there.

    Jo: What's your considered opinion and advice?

    Francois: I would publish another LC and remove BPs 5 "auto network
    access" and 6 "providing means to control auto network access". I am
    less worried about the remaining orange lights.

    <EdC> Two questions:

    Francois: There is number 28 - but we have 3 different partial
    implementations...
    ... we have something.

    EdC: Questions to clear up - how was decided an implementation was
    partial vs complete; 2nd: wrt BP 29 - some of those practices are
    recommended if you look at Apple documentation. Do we really need
    more implementation reports to give them substance?

    Francois: first answer - it's an informative document so it's
    submitted on a declarative basis (implementors have declared that
    they are partial or full), when we move this from CR to PR the
    director may dig further, W3C members may also look at
    implementation reports and dig further. Nothing for the group to
    review.
    ... second point: on BP29 - we already have 4 partial
    implementations - it would be good if we could have an independent
    web developer implementation report.
    ... it would be better to have only greens...

    Jo: Any other views?

    <francois> DKA: I'd like to minimize the things we drop from the
    spec.

    <francois> ... can we move things we drop to an appendix?

    <jeffs> this seems a sane approach

    DKA: and I do support the idea of dropping, going back to LC, etc...
    - if it means we finish the work here.

    Jo: I also think we should take 5 and 6 out (tho these are
    important) and we should put it in an appendix because these are
    important...

    Ed: Where did these come from in the first place?

    <jeffs> I am pretty uncomfortable removing nr 5 and nr 6 as they are
    central privacy issues

    Jeff can you point us to implementations of these that could provide
    implementation reports?

    <Zakim> francois, you wanted to take an action

    Jo: I think these were around from first draft.

    Francois: I could take an action to investigate but I think you're
    right - they were in the first draft.

    <jeffs> I will have to go look and get back to you, I need to
    separate webapp implementations out to reply clearly

    Francois: Next step is to resolve on something and give the rest of
    the group one week to review?

    <jeffs> can we hold off on this until we can get input from Adam
    please?

    PROPOSED RESOLUTION: If we can't dig up implementation reports for
    these 2 by XXX then we will drop - otherwise we will remove and go
    back to LC with intention to jump to PR with these dropped.

    Jeff: I think [5 and 6] are central privacy issues. Off the top of
    my head I can think of a number of implementations in webapp context
    - I need to go back and review.

    Jo: I'm with you in spirit.

    <EdC> My point is that these two BP must have been proposed for a
    good reason, and we should be able to trace it to a background
    document prior to the redaction of the BP document itself.

    PROPOSED RESOLUTION: If we can't dig up implementation reports for
    these 2 by 30 June (prior to next call) then we will drop -
    otherwise we will remove and go back to LC with intention to jump to
    PR with these dropped.

    <scribe> ACTION: Jeff to help find 2 implementations of 5 and 6 by
    30 June. [recorded in
    [11]http://www.w3.org/2010/06/22-bpwg-minutes.html#action01]

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-1050 - Help find 2 implementations of 5
    and 6 by 30 June. [on Jeffrey Sonstein - due 2010-06-29].

    PROPOSED RESOLUTION: If we can't dig up implementation reports for
    these 2 by 30 June (prior to next call) then we will drop -
    otherwise we will remove and go back to LC with intention to jump to
    PR with these demoted to strong advisory note.

    <jeffs> I agree w change to "advisory note" instead of "drop"

    demoted to strong advisory note.

    Jo: AOB on BP2?
    ... How long does it have to remain in LC this time around?

    Francois: 3 weeks minimum

Guidelines for Web Content Transformation Proxies

    Jo: We've all been celebrating wildly.

    [some discussion of the key areas of the transition call]

    Francois: We should celebrate Jo.
    ... Output of call was regarding implementation reports - requires
    group to comment on implementation reports...

    EdC: What kind of comments are expected?

    Jo: Left open.

    Francois: That's a good question. Suggest we wait and see if we
    manage to get implementation reports.
    ... suggest we take this discussion to an appropriate time.

    Jo: Allow me to paraphrase -when we discussed the nature of the
    implementation reports, it became clearer that we were talking about
    self-certification.. There is nothing we've said about
    implementation reports that prevents people from submitting reports
    with none of the SHOULDs implemented and no or little text
    provided...

    <EdC> So in practice, two aspects to check (formally) are: are all
    questions answered; are non-implemented items properly justified.

    Jo: it's reasonable for us to be scrutinize the reports and check
    them..

    EdC: Any prospective submitters of reports?

    <francois> jo: we should start with looking up at members of this
    group and then friends of members of the group.

    Jo: Moving on - We need implementation reports from deployments. We
    need members of the group who deploy CT proxies to provide reports.

    Dan: I can try to get one [from VF].

    Sean: I can find out if any of our customers can.

    Jo: ... other candidates: Google...

Charter Extension

    Jo: In order to get BP2 into Rec we need a 3-month extension at a
    minimum.

    <EdC> What about just putting till 2010-12-31 and be done with
    successive extensions?

    Francois: I think 3 months is optimistic. 3 or 4 months is OK
    though.
    ... Perhaps we should just make it 4 months?

    <francois> +1 to 4 month extension

    <jo> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: The BPWG requests extension of its charter
    by 4 months to allow the CT Guidelines and the Application Best
    Practices to reach Rec.

    <EdC> +1

    <SeanP> +1

    RESOLUTION: The BPWG requests extension of its charter by 4 months
    to allow the CT Guidelines and the Application Best Practices to
    reach Rec.

    Francois: I will do it.

    [recorded in
    [25]http://www.w3.org/2010/06/22-bpwg-minutes.html#action11]

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-1060 - Request a 4 month charter extension
    [on François Daoust - due 2010-06-29].

AOB?

    <EdC> Jeff's remark above ?

    Jo: Jeff?

    Jeff: we have a major re-work of HTML and XHTML in process that's
    being wildly implemented by quite a number of folks. My question
    was: should the group request an extension of its life to examine
    that? Should it be reconstituted later?

    <francois> [a new charter would need to be drafted to change scope]

    Jo: My initial reaction is "no".

    <EdC> Maybe we should know a) the schedule regarding the HTML5.0
    process b) whether that group is going to spawn some special groups
    itself.

    Jo: 2 things - it is potentially too early within the limits of our
    charter to comment on best practices of HTML5... I think this group
    is done - if there is there is room for a new mobile web focused
    group then its focus needs to be different... new agenda, separate
    business.
    ... the landscape is very different. time for this group to pack its
    bags and say "we're done."

    <EdC> So, to answer my own questions -- it is too early to deal with
    HTML5.0 and the discussions on BP will probably take place in the
    context of another group, possibly spawned by HTML5.0 group itself.

    <francois> DKA: [summary: agree we need to close the WG. HTML5 still
    too yound. HTML5 is already looking at the mobile platform.

    <francois> ]

    Francois: a practical point - changing the charter of a working
    group involves just as much work as creating another working group.

    <jeffs> but changing the charter does not have the group-formation
    problems as extending an existing group

    +1 to what EdC said above - it needs to be "of" the HTML working
    group rather than "of" the mobile community.

    EdC: I expressed my dismay at any procedure that is as complicated
    as forming a new group.

    Jo: Taking the opportunity to start a new group might be a better
    things to do.

    <jeffs> and it seems to me that the activity is trailing off because
    the current charge is winding down... and I do not see this as a
    "new topic"... this is still BP for Mobile

    <jeffs> I'll raise the issue again later on

    Jo: I strongly think we should not taken on any other work but I
    strongly encourage you to look for other avenues...
    ... Thanks all!

    <jeffs> bye
