NOTE: NEW CALL-IN VIA GOTOMEETING – DISREGARD EARLIER WEBEX CALL-IN INFO!

Our next BG meeting will take place via teleconference tomorrow, Jan 16 at noon ET [1]. Proposed agenda per the co-chairs is detailed in earlier email copied below, and please have a look at (/contribute to) the proposed 2018 goals etc. at [2] which relate to the first two agenda items.

By request we are going to try following the lead of the Publishing WG which has recently been using GoToMeeting instead of WebEx, with service kindly contributed by member EDRLab. The call-in access information is identical to that for the PWG meetings per [3]. This is an experiment after which we will seek feedback as to whether we should continue with GTM or revert to WebEx.

Thanks,

--Bill

Subject: W3C Publishing Business Group: next meeting Jan 16, new co-chairs, and more


Dear W3C Publishing Business Group members,


Happy New Year! We have a lot ahead of us in 2018 and have some announcements to make regarding the W3C Publishing Business Group (PBG) and its leadership.


The PBG Steering Committee has appointed Liisa McCloy-Kelley (Penguin Random House) and Luc Audrain (Hachette) as new co-chairs, joining Rick Johnson (Ingram/VitalSource). Many thanks to  Paul Belfanti (Ascend Learning) and Cristina Mussinelli (Italian Publishers Association) for their service in getting the PBG launched and rolling in 2017, including their significant help on the program for November’s Publishing Summit in Burlingame.


The next PBG call will be at the usual time slot on Tuesday January 16, noon ET [1] for one hour. The co-chairs propose the primary agenda topic be a discussion of overall goals and 2018 objectives for the group and associated task forces to work the relevant activities to achieve these objectives, building on a document [2] that has been in development for several weeks. All PBG members are welcome to suggest edits to this straw-man en route to the discussion in the meeting. The specifics of the  WebEx call-in access for the meeting are detailed at [3].


In order to increase efficiency and broaden discussions, the current PBG Steering Committee also proposes to refocus the Steering Committee as` (currently the Publishing BG, Publishing WG, and EPUB 3 CG) plus the leads of those PBG task forces established (per above), and the W3C team contacts. This would create a standing slate, subject to the approval of the PBG as a whole. In this new mode the Steering Committee, while nominally still of the PBG, will really be the coordination point for all of Publishing@W3C.


Discussion of this proposal will also be on the agenda for the Jan 16 call, but the candidate slate for the new Steering Committee would not be expected to be put forward for approval until after the goals and objectives, and activities to be conducted to achieve those objectives, are agreed (so that all the relevant task force leads will have been identified, which will hopefully be accomplished at or shortly after this call). Note that all PBG members are welcome to volunteer to lead a task force, whether or not you are currently a Steering Committee member.


Proposed Agenda for the January 16 PBG meeting:

  1.  Discuss high-level goals for PBG for 2018
  2.  Discuss establishing priority task forces to support those goals
  3.  Recap and discuss the recent EPUB 3x email chain and consider formalizing PBG input to CG re: next steps on future of EPUB 3
  4.  Establish meeting schedule and logistics for SC and BG
  5.  Discuss Steering Committee proposal


Bill McCoy, on behalf of the Publishing Business Group Steering Committee.
