[coord] Re: Request for Inter-Group Coordination at TPAC

[ + public-webapps ]

Hi Janina, All,

I added a 30 minute slot on Monday November 11 from 13:30-14:00 
(Shenzhen time). Unless I hear otherwise from you, I will assume this 
slot is OK and that we will meet in WebApps' meeting room.

To help WebApps prepare for the discussion, I think it would be helpful 
if you would please provide some background information. For example, 
the URL of the "IndieUI User Context specification", the "proposal for a 
new way for user agents to restrict access to certain groups of media 
resources".

-Thanks, Art
