draft overview - EPUB Test Grid options

First, my apologies for missing last week's meeting, which included an
update from me on the EPUB Test Grid. I didn't read the agenda until after
the meeting took place, and I didn't realize until then that I was on it.

I've pulled together a summary of options, history, current practice and
potential next steps. It includes a note at the outset to explain that the
overview is prepared using a BISG perspective. Other organizations and
participants may offer alternate views.

I've attached a Word document and a PDF to this e-mail, and I've set up a
Google Drive folder with the same documents plus a Google Doc version of
the text in the Word document. You can access that folder here:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B8EWmt03NpH_MGhTUWo3c2RRdlE?usp=sharing

The link is set to support editing by anyone who has access.

If Rick agrees, we can return this topic to the agenda for June 6. I can
provide an overview of the document and its content (short, assuming that
everyone will have taken a look before the call) and then we can have a
discussion about the options and next steps.

Let me know if you have any questions you'd like to make sure we address on
Tuesday.
