Re: Let's meet at TPAC2019

In the U.S. opportunities associated with the new OPEN Government Data Act (OGDA) abound.  http://stratml.us/references/HR4174.htm#Title_II
The question is whether the W3C is up to the challenge of bringing those with common objectives together by new, more efficient and effective means (than F2F meetings in Japan). 
See, for example, StratML use case Goal 20: Conferences & Meetings - Publish the agendas for significant conferences and public meetings as performance plans and reports on the Web in open, standard, machine-readable format.
In the meantime, OASIS's Emergency Management TC seems to be making some progress:  https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=emergency

Dear Mauricio and Bart, 
There are surely some creative solutions using internet connectivity possible to include as big of a committee as possible, yet I would very much like buy-in from the more mature open gov crowd. Together I'm sure practitioners can have substantial input with pretty much immediate benefits , especially in terms of updating legislatures. 
   
   - Would one or more distinguished member of open gov standards community be will to at least endorse submitting a joint proposal with the emergency standards?
Beyond the fact that i do think vertical "integration" for a critical mass  is beneficial to the scope in terms of outputs and datasets, as someone who's straddled policy, voting and emergencies, I'm fairly confident I can help fill a room with the right kind of obscure technocrat and distinguished practitioner.

Hello Joseph and Colleagues,

I recently joined the W3C OpenGov group and I like the idea to have an in-person meeting at TPA.
I am in and I am a volunteer to help with the organization if needed.
Cheers,

Mauricio
