     [25] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/actions/103

   <pimpbot> Title: ACTION-103 - HTML Weekly Tracker (at www.w3.org)

   <masinter> issue should be 'register' rather than 'track
   registration'

   <masinter> er, Action-103 should be 'register' rather than 'track
   registration'

   no, smedero , you can't change the action without the consent of the
   issue owner

   action, rather

   if somebody want to take the 'register' action, very well.

   (this is a clear case of PENDING REVIEW, to me...)

   "PENDINGREVIEW = An Editor has reviewed arguments and edited spec to
   taste, or the WG chairs have evaluated the level of consensus and
   identified one or more proposals that would resolve the issue. In
   the case where multiple proposals are identified, the Editors may
   make the determination as to which one to incorporate." --

   <pimpbot> Title: HTML - ESW Wiki (at esw.w3.org)

   [some discussion of how to track this about: stuff...]

   CW: I added a note...

   <ChrisWilson> 2009-02-26 17:26:28: The consensus is likely
   conditional on the registration being performed. Next action is to
   get registration; if that doesn't happen we will re-evaluate design.

   <Julian> I just checked, and no email has been sent to uri-review
   w.r.t. "about"

   <pimpbot> Title: IETF HTML5 Meeting March 2009 - ESW Wiki (at
   esw.w3.org)

   thanks, julian

   LMM: room is booked; let us know if you're coming so we can deal
   with room size

   <Lachy> DanC, no news yet

   are you waiting for something, Lachy? just a round-tuit?

   <Lachy> I will look into it early next week. It's just a matter of
   time.

   thanks, Lachy

   LMM: agenda requests are welcome even for those who don't plan to
   attend

   DanC: my participation is still at risk

talk about TPAC

   CW: TPAC is currently scheduled for 1st week of Nov; W3C mgmt is
   asking for explicit confirmation

   close action-113

     [29] http://www.us.apachecon.com/c/acus2009/

   <pimpbot> Title: ApacheCon US 2009 (at www.us.apachecon.com)

   CW: somebody asked where? Santa Clara.
   ... so I ought to ask the WG who's like to attend

   MM: what's the threshold?

   CW: well, I hadn't thought about it; given the location, I'm
   reasonably confident we'll have critical mass

   <dsinger> there is probably a magic agenda too (matters that will
   need a face to face to make progress)

   CW: whether to have a meeting depends on agenda too, yes

   <dsinger> we are surely meeting. does anyone seriously think we
   don't need one, or that no-one will be there?

   MM: I can imagine a noisy thread on whether to have a meeting

   (I think n^2 email is awkward too; WBS is the right tool here.)

   <ChrisWilson> Dan, can you set up a WBS poll? Ending next Wednesday,
   perhaps, so we can confirm by next telecon

   <rubys> nah, just set up a wiki page

   <gsnedders> dsinger: I don't think there's anyway we won't reach
   critical mass

   <rubys> If Ian, Chris, and I are in a room in the bay area, I expect
   others will pile one

   <dsinger> I agree

   rubys, I prefer WBS, but a wiki is OK by me too

   <dsinger> we should say "we're meeting; please get agenda topics and
   attendance info to the chairs"

   "Problem statement: some users find navigating tables complicated,
   and

   would like a description of the table so that they can make better
   use of

   the table. Such users might be blind, using an accessibility tool,

   might have cognitive difficulties, or might just be unfamiliar with
   the

   Google Groups (at groups.google.com)

   DanC: I see 2 messages taking issue with that problem statement... I
   wonder if it's useful to focus there

   MM: the HTML WG seems to think it is responsible for figuring out
   accessibility, but there are other W3C WGs charged with that...

   <dsinger> the pfwg won't tell us what syntax elements and so on to
   use; the syntax of HTML is ours

   <dsinger> we shouldn't tell the pfwg how to manage accessibility,
   either

   <dsinger> we have to talk to each other

   <dsinger> I agree

   DanC: [hard to scribe and talk...]

   MM: W3C already agreed on this (@summary) once; it seems we're
   recinding that agreement... seems like the burden should be on us to
   explain why

   SR: this call next week... MM, are you planning to be there?

   MM: I didn't have plans to, but I'm willing to

   <masinter> next week W3C TAG conflicts for me

   CW: I'm at-risk too

   <dsinger> I am at risk next week also

   <ChrisWilson> move adjourn?

   Sam: I'll either chair or cancel.
