My note for the minutes about ISO/IEC standardization

A task force was created to study the five options listed in the wiki page
[1] "Five options for creating ISO/IEC specifications for EPUB 3.X and EPUB
A11Y".  This taskforce agreed to adopt option 4, which is basically ISO/IEC
standardization of EPUB 3.0.1 and EPUB Accessibility 1.0.

Note: Adopting option 4 now does not prevent us from adopting option 1, 2,
or 3 in the future.  In other words, we can later adopt one of these three
options for standardizing EPUB 3.2.

The agreement of the task force was endorsed in the Publishing Business
Group meeting on April 24.  Bill McCoy will explain this decision to the
W3M and try to
get permission.

To adopt option 4, the PBG has to send two liaison statements.  The first
letter has to be sent to SC34/JWG7 before their meeting on May 16, 2018.
In this letter, we will ask JWG7 *not* to publish 3.0.1 as Technical
Specifications.  The second letter has to be sent to the Korean SC34
mirror.  In that letter, we will ask Korea to submit 3.0.1 as fast-tracked
Draft International Standards.

Murata volunteered to write the drafts of these two liaison statements.
The PBG will review the draft letters.  As a co-chair of the PBG, Audrain
Luc will send the reviewed letters to SC34/JWG7 and Korea.
