Folks, there's been a lot of discussion over the last few weeks that references the initial charter excluding user interface, and UI is generally used as a way to end conversation (sometimes even productive conversation). It feels a little bit like we're creating a new incantation ("this is a requirement!" versus "this touches UI!") that we need to clarify so we don't go down the same rathole over and over next week, and that we know what's fair game. The charter is relatively clear, but still leaves some gray areas: "While guidelines that define the user experience or user interface may be useful (and within scope), the Working Group will not specify the exact presentation to the user." It seems to me like the last few calls have played a little fast and loose with that - some things seem fair, and then very similar levels of detail get dismissed out of hand as UI-related. I'm hoping that ahead of the F2F we could spend some time hashing out what kinds of requirements are in scope, and what's out of scope*. *In general, it seems to me that exact pixel-by-pixel presentation is out of scope for the WG, and general requirements or guidelines around presentation is in scope. Does this sound right to the rest of the group? Can we agree on that distinction for the F2F? -- Heather West | Google Policy | heatherwest@google.com | 202-643-6381
