Fwd: [RSVP] Special meeting this Thursday regarding Personalization Semantics

Cross-Posting this Special ARIA meeting this Thursday to our Personalization TF as this will impact our future as a Task Force.  If at all possible Lisa and I encourage all of you to attend so you can hear both sides of why we should stay under ARIA WG or why we should move over to the APA WG.
Hope to see you all there.

Regards
Charles and Lisa

Subject: [RSVP] Special meeting this Thursday regarding Personalization Semantics

Hey all.

As those of you who attended last week's meeting are aware, we are
considering moving the Personalization Task Force and its deliverables
out of ARIA and into APA. This is still being discussed by the
Personalization Task Force. See the mailing list thread opened with this
message [1], along with the minutes from today's Personalization
Semantics Task Force meeting [2].

Towards the end of today's meeting, in which some task force members
were absent and during which no consensus was reached, I proposed the
possibility of doing a WBS Survey to determine people's positions and
hopefully get closer to identifying a way forward that we all can live
with. Lisa pointed out that people shouldn't vote that have not heard
both sides. I think her observation is quite reasonable and that before
the ARIA Working Group vote in such a survey, we owe it to Lisa to give
her sufficient time to present her case directly to the Working Group.
For this reason, we are proposing to make this week's ARIA concall a
one-topic meeting, namely Personalization Semantics.

The reason for the "[RSVP]" tag is that we want to ensure that all of
the regular attendees, along with anyone else with an interest in this
matter, will be at the meeting to hear Lisa's presentation.

Thank you in advance for your response!
