Re: 72 hours call for consensus ­on Publishing Business Group charter revision

Dear Kamata,

To bring your questions some information, please allow me to refer to previous communications from the Publishing Business Group.

(1) New Steering Committee

Previous mail attached about the proposed Steering Committee Slate (Jan 30th 21:04).
Excerpt: "This new Steering Committee will consist of the co-chairs of the Pub BG, Pub WG, and EPUB 3 CG plus leads of certain task forces of the PBG."

The principle of this "72h call for consensus election of new PBG Steering Committee slate" was discussed and decided in the Jan 30 call as noted in the minutes (https://www.w3.org/2018/01/30-pbg-minutes.html).
This list of candidates did receive only +1.

(2) Chairs of PBG

As noted in the Jan 16 PBG call minutes (https://www.w3.org/2018/01/16-pbg-minutes.html): « paul and christina are stepping back »
The Feb 13 PBG call, a slightly modified Steering Committee Slate has been approved (see 2. Revised slate in https://www.w3.org/2018/02/13-pbg-minutes.html).
I am expecting this decision to be soon followed by an update of the PBG participants Web page you are referring.


Hoping this to be helpful for you.

Kind regards,
Luc

Dear Audrain,

I have some questions. Your answer would be very helpful for me.

(1) The followinbg people are not listed on new SC. They are out from SC?

Paul Belfanti Jones & Bartlett Learning
Mike Baker Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Graham Bell EDItEUR
Pierre Danet Hachette Livre
Leslie Hulse HarperCollins PublishersTreasurer
Cristina Mussinelli Associazione Italiana Editori
Eoin Noble Safari Books Online
Bill McCoy The Executive Director of the IDPF

(2) Paul Belfanti and Cristina Mussinelli are not Chairs of PBG? Rick Johnson, Liisa McCloy-Kelley and Luc Audrain are co-chair. Co-chair means chair?

+1 for the majority of the prose in the the proposed Charter, but...

-1 for the "The Publishing BG shall provide oversight and approval to
   publications of the EPUB 3 Community Group other than Editor's
   Drafts" sentence. I understand the W3C/IDPF Agreement is binding. I
   also understand people prefer sticking to the letter of the Agreement
   rather than pragmatism and a workable architecture.

0  for keeping the useless Steering Committee

All in all, a +1 because this Charter is at least more conformant to W3C
BG Process than the previous one. As I said earlier, I will leave the BG
if it still has a handhold on the publications in the CG.

I will also check if that weird CG/BG relationship is not violating W3C
CG/BG Process; so be ready for that because if it does, the W3C/IDPF
Agreement's provision about the BG ruling the CG is invalid...

</Daniel>
