Agenda:

1. Updates

NS: Laurence Zaysser joined our group.

We introduced ourselves to our new member.

NS: Internationalization comments will be added into the charter.

BK: Ask the W3C person who asked for internationalization comments where
the comments should go in the charter (or ask ishida@w3.org )

NS: We have all the horizontal group sign-offs.

NS: What should we do about testing statements in the charter?  We have a
requirement to deliver tests. Bert Bos conveyed that some groups have a
statement that any changes to a draft have a testing requirement. Should we
do the same?

BK In living documents like HTML, every specification change requires a
test and implementation. We are not at that stage.

NS: Where’s the Igalia implementation at?

BK: Still waiting on some Google layout changes for stretchy chars. We
don’t want to do work twice.

NS: Is the table layout in Google complete?

BK: No, I believe we are waiting on table completion and discussing
what/whether we can do with stretching as it seems that that might take
some to get to

NS: The Epub group pointed NS to a publisher interested in elementary math.

 2. Timelines and plans for 2021

PI: Typos in the charter on dates when items would be completed.

NS: He will add a month to the completion estimates in the charter.

NS: Charter lists a face-to-face meeting in the fall of 2021.  Might
happen, but might be virtual? It is listed as being in association with
TPAC.

NS: When will Igalia be done?

This is for Google and Firefox.

BK: Wants to go into CR (candidate recommendation) in October 2021.  This
is the writing of the specification.

 BK: He believes we have agreement on the scope of level one.

BK: href is not in level one.

NS: There will be polyfills for all features in MathML that are not handled
by regular web browser code.

BK: There were efforts to see what is used most in MathML.  This is how
level one got defined.

NS: Asked if anyone had plans to do MathML work the rest of the year.

MS: Is working on mrow and mfence implementations at Microsoft.

NS: The next meeting may be after the working group is formed.
