Automation Summit in Berlin [action required from implementors by 9 August]

Hi All,

There was a thread[1] a couple of weeks ago about a bidi summit in Berlin
coming purely from a client implementation perspective. There was a request
to become a WG meeting since there would be a couple of people from Google
and Mozilla.

As has been pointed the speed at which these seemed to have ballooned is
problematic.

Now, I don't want to block a meeting if there is sufficient support from
implementors but I want to ensure that this has the full support of people,
even those who can't come. I am trying to prevent any future issues with
people feeling that one group has taken over and we have moved away from
consensus.

If there is support still for the meeting as a full WG meeting, despite not
implementators not being able to make it, I will create the wiki page and
we can move forward. I will be requesting that Google, who has offered to
host this, be able to help with allowing *Remote Participation*. As always,
each meeting will be minuted and no final decisions will be made until
things are merged into spec and things can still be improved after that.

[ACTION by 9 August]
So, specifically could representatives from Google, Mozilla, Microsoft, and
Apple coordinate with colleagues to make sure that you're happy for the
group to meet even if your group can't make it? If there are concerns from
people outside the groups mentioned please feel free to respond too.

If there isn't fully support we can see about keeping the original idea of
the meeting limited to client implementations of the Bidi Spec.

Thanks,
