Welcome, meetings and intros

Dear all,

Welcome to the Web & Networks Interest Group!

The group was chartered [1] a few weeks ago [2], and the Chairs and I
now feel we have enough participants signed up to begin our work in earnest.

We will soon share a Doodle to try and identify a time for a first
teleconference the last week of June, both as a meet-and-greet, and as
an opportunity to kick start some of our tasks.

Beyond that teleconference and other ones we hope to organize over the
summer, please note that the Interest Group will have its first face to
face meeting in September as part of the W3C all-groups meeting (TPAC):

In particular, the registration for TPAC has opened, and the early bird
registration ends on June 21:

Beyond these practical considerations, I would like all the current
participants to the Interest Group to take a couple of minutes to
introduce themselves on the list to help us better understand the
diversity of skills and experiences we can build on, as well as the
specific motivations that made you join this new group.

To help that process, let me start by introducing myself!

I'm Dominique Hazael-Massieux, I have been part of the W3C Staff since
2000, have been involved in a number of projects and teams there. I am
currently a staff contact for the Web Real-Time Communications Working
Group [3], the Immersive Web Working Group [4] (dealing with AR & VR on
the Web), and will service as staff contact for this interest group,
working with our three co-chairs (Dan Druta, Song Xu, and Sudeep
Divakaran) in ensuring we achieve our shared goals with the group.

More specifically, my work in WebRTC and Immersive Web has highlighted a
number of cases where a better cooperation between applications and
networks could lead to much better user experiences, which was one of
the triggers for me to organize last year (with Eric Siow) the Web5G
workshop:

I'm keen on working with you in understanding how all the innovations
happening at the network layer (5G, MEC, MPTCP, QUIC, etc) can work in
an harmonious fashion with all the innovation coming from the app layer
(AR, VR, IoT, AI & ML, etc).

I'm looking forward to hearing from the rest of you!

Best regards,

Dominique Hazael-Massieux, aka Dom
