RE: EPUB 3 Working Group Charter Approved; Call for Participation

Hello,

 

Great news, and perhaps inform the soon to be merged Publishing CG, because there may be member orgs that were not in the WG.

 

Perhaps an opportunity to circulate more broadly to increase new members.

 

Best

George

The EPUB 3 WG is now operational!

 

We should probably notify the Publishing WG and possibly the BG about this, to get people to join. The plan is to hold the first telco in about 3 weeks.

 

Youpee:-)

Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
Chair,

The Director is pleased to announce the approval of the EPUB 3 Working Group charter:
   https://www.w3.org/2020/08/epub-wg-charter.html

This group is chartered until 28 February 2023.

The mission of the EPUB 3 Working Group is to maintain and develop the EPUB 3 family of specifications, to represent the EPUB community in the W3C, and to support EPUB 3 content creators and consumers by further advancing, refining, and clarifying the current EPUB 3 specification. The Working Group will also work closely with the Publishing Community Group to support the maintenance of validation tools and the creation of documentation.

Please use this form to join the group; the form will also instruct you how to nominate participants:
   https://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/125377/join

The Working Group chairs are Dave Cramer (Hachette Livre), Wendy Reid (Rakuten Kobo), and Shinya Takami 高見真也 (Kadokawa/Bookwalker). The Team Contact is Ivan Herman for a total of 0.20 FTE.

More information on the EPUB 3 Working Group can be found on its homepage:
   https://www.w3.org/publishing/groups/epub-wg/

The group plans to have its first (virtual) face-to-face meeting during the W3C's annual Technical Plenary week, October 2020.

Results of Call for Review
------
In response to the 19 June 2020 Call for Review:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-ac-members/2020AprJun/0060.html

43 members supported the charter as is, 2 members suggested changes but without a formal objection, and 1 member abstained.
https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/33280/epub3wg/results

The two suggested changes were identical and led to some minor changes on the proposed charter (reinforcing the need to provide tests for any proposed changes on the EPUB 3 documents, see [1] for the details). No substantial change on the charter was introduced.

This announcement follows section 7.1.2 of the W3C Process Document:
   https://www.w3.org/2019/Process-20190301/#ACReviewAfter

and the Call for Participation follows section 5.2.4 of the W3C Process Document:
   https://www.w3.org/2019/Process-20190301/#cfp

Thank you,

For Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director, and
Ivan Herman, W3C Digital Publishing Activity Technical Lead and Team Contact,
Xueyuan Jia, W3C Marketing & Communications
