Kickoff of the EPUB Annotations TF

Thanks to everyone having shown interest in participating in the EPUB Annotation TF, i.e. currently:

- Ivan Herman (W3C)
- Leonard Rosenthol (Adobe)
- Brady Duga (Google)
- Laura Driussi (Google)
- George Kersher (DAISY)

Other W3C members are welcome. Apple? Kobo? 

Nikolay Pulstin from FBReader (EDRLab member) will also review and implement the specification.
Hypothes.is <http://hypothes.is/> and readwise.io <http://readwise.io/> will be contacted asap. 

The TF will use  group-pm-ann@w3.org <mailto:group-pm-ann@w3.org> for discussing our matter. 
The corresponding public archive is  https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Group/group-pm-ann/ <https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Group/group-pm-/>

The kickoff will be next week in Sophia Antipolis during the F2F PMWG meeting. 

Here is a proposed Agenda:
- Is there a business model for such a format, or is the project triggered by users' desire? 
- Annotations vs Bookmarks vs Citations.  
- Scope of the project (embedding annotations in an EPUB? specifying a REST protocol?)
- Existing initiatives and setting a list of reading apps already exporting annotations.
- Overview of the W3C Annotation Model <https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-model/>; pros and cons.
- Overview of the Readium Annotations <https://github.com/readium/annotations> specification; additions to the W3C Annotation Model; demo. 
- Other specifications we should know, e.g.  Web Annotation Extensions for Web Publications <https://www.w3.org/TR/2020/NOTE-wpub-ann-20201001/>.
- Periodicity of meetings and tools. 
- AOB

Your comments are welcome on this agenda. 

Please review the documents before the F2F meeting if you can :-)
