This Meeting

   nigel: For today we have a minor section on IMSC, TTML2, and
   Charter, and Thierry has also requested that we discuss TTML
   and WebVTT mapping, WebVTT comments
   ... AOB?

   group: no AOB.

Action Items

   group: no updates on any actions this week.

Charter

   tmichel: From my understanding last week we have 1 open PR from
   BBC, and a fair amount of issues that were
   ... raised. I thought Nigel wanted to look at those issues and
   state which are already incorporated in that PR.

   nigel: That's right, but I haven't done it [slaps own wrist]

   tmichel: I'm happy to merge the PR, but please let me know
   which issues are already covered.
   ... I think plh is expecting that document ASAP to submit to
   W3M. I think he's like to directly submit the charter
   ... instead of requesting an extension and going through it
   again, if that's doable. From the amount of issues we
   ... have I think we can reach that goal.

   atai: I have a question regarding the procedure.
   ... I think first it will be presented to W3M and then reviewed
   by the members, where topics can be raised?

   tmichel: Yes.
   ... But if you already have issues - e.g. the HTML and
   coordination with HTML, then it's better to do that as soon as
   possible.
   ... The sooner the better.

   atai: Yes, of course! I agree.

   tmichel: If you could provide any further input before our next
   Telecon next week that would be excellent, so we can discuss it
   here first.

   nigel: I've now looked through the issues and have added three
   issues to the BBC Pull Request where they are at
   ... least partially addressed, but I'd encourage especially
   Pierre to review since it may not exactly match what he's asked
   for.
   ... On the document license, did we agree?

   tmichel: We can state it on a document by document basis as
   discussed by email. I want to remove the wording
   ... because I've not seen it in other Charters so I'm not sure
   it's really needed. I'll let you know if it's needed by
   ... next Monday. If it is then we'll tweak the language to
   allow either licence to be chosen on a document by document
   basis.

   nigel: Does anyone want to raise any specific issues for
   discussion?

   tmichel: On the timeline link, we should make sure there's
   something there on the wiki,

   nigel: I've already done that!
   ... (based on the link in the BBC pull request)
   ... [goes through issues rapidly]
   ... I'd like a staff view on #25:
   [12]https://github.com/w3c/charter-drafts/issues/25

   ... likewise for #22:
   [13]https://github.com/w3c/charter-drafts/issues/22

   ... What about issue #17, tmichel?

     [12] https://github.com/w3c/charter-drafts/issues/25

     [13] https://github.com/w3c/charter-drafts/issues/22


   tmichel: [14]https://github.com/w3c/charter-drafts/issues/17 I
   raised this because I thought it was a bit ambiguous.

     [14] https://github.com/w3c/charter-drafts/issues/17


   nigel: How will you resolve this - is it a staff view?

   tmichel: Either I remove Wide review on first publication and
   replace with what's in the process, or remove the whole bit.
   ... I'll discuss with plh on Monday. It's more something
   internal to discuss.
   ... I also wanted to add ARIB to external groups.

   nigel: Then you should +1 Pierre's issue #26
   [15]https://github.com/w3c/charter-drafts/issues/26

   ... I see that issue #16 has a number of things in.

     [15] https://github.com/w3c/charter-drafts/issues/26


   tmichel: I see that's redundant. What's Apex?

   pal: It's an organisation that sets standards for airlines who
   has in the past expressed an interest in IMSC 1 and TTML so I
   thought we should keep them up to date.

   nigel: What will we do differently during the charter period
   between external groups that are listed vs those that are not?

   tmichel: It's not a big difference but there's more pressure to
   seek wide review from listed groups.

   pal: We discussed this for IMSC 1 - if a group is listed but
   does not respond then that does not stop us from proceeding.

   tmichel: That's true.

   glenn: I'd rather not list it unless we've got information that
   we're likely to get feedback from it.

   tmichel: Would you disagree for both ARIB and APEX, or just
   APEX?

   glenn: ARIB is a national standards body so a completely
   different sort of thing. We have a long tradition working
   ... with ARIB so I'm just commenting on APEX not ARIB here.

   tmichel: I agree with you there.

   glenn: FYI at the meeting from Sapporo there was an ARIB
   participant. If someone shows up from APEX in the
   ... future then sure, but I think it's premature now.

   tmichel: Ok so what we could do is add them somewhere like in
   our implementation list.

   pal: Don't get me wrong, it was only a suggestion. Please don't
   include them if you'd rather not.
   ... We should put in the charter how we expect to interact with
   those external organisations. It would be good to
   ... reaffirm that responses from those organisations are not
   mandatory for us to proceed.

   nigel: I've added a note to
   ... say "Group agreed to add in ARIB but not to add in APEX to
   the TTWG Charter."

IMSC

   nigel: Just to note that Pierre, Philippe, Thierry and I met
   the Director on Tuesday and he approved transition to PR which
   we expect to be published next week.
   ... So that's a great step!
   ... We did agree to add a dated note to the implementation
   report at some stage saying that we're no longer working on it,
   and point to a new page listing current known implementations.

   tmichel: I'm happy to take a snapshot of the current IR
   document, and list in a new page the tests and implementations
   we know of, in a wiki page.

   nigel: +1 to the wiki page idea.

   tmichel: I'll look at doing that in a couple of weeks or so.
   ... We did discuss a press release and agreed not to have a
   formal press release for example with companies giving
   testimonials (which we don't usually do) but to have some kind
   of blog entry
   ... about the Rec release. We can talk about that later.

   pal: I had a different recollection - we were going to let the
   W3C comms team make a determination especially in
   ... the light of the recent Emmy. I'm happy to compose an email
   to the comms team, but I would allow them to make
   ... the decision.

   tmichel: I doubt that they will have a big press release but
   they could add some information about the Emmy on the home
   page.
   ... I understood that there will also be a blog.

   pal: I think you or I or Nigel should inform the Comm team.
   It's an opportunity to build momentum and I would not
   ... like us to miss that.

   tmichel: I'm fine with that - can you start drafting something
   and we can discuss it in the group and then check
   ... with the comm team if they're happy to issue it? We have to
   start early, because things are going to go
   ... quickly now - in a month or so we should exit the PR review
   and then move to Rec.

   pal: I'll compose that email and send to tmichel and nigel for
   review.

   tmichel: Great.

   nigel: Thanks

TTML

   nigel: Just to note we have a new issue on TTML1, and a couple
   on TTML2 if you want to check the github repo.
   ... Also tmichel asked about a new publication.

   glenn: I think we should get a new WD out - how about targeting
   e.g. March 15?

   tmichel: Excellent, thank you Glenn.

   nigel: +1

   glenn: I'll spend some time on some edits. I have some minor
   items to report.
   ... In recent implementation work on TTV etc I've now
   implemented the full condition expression language and
   ... have it operating, except not the media query part yet. We
   have syntax parsing and a function evaluation.
   ... In particular in TTPE we have it working for the forced use
   case, and it's publicly available if people want
   ... to review the code and understand it.

   glenn: Just to comment on the new issue about exposing external
   parameters, that's an interesting idea. I think
   ... we need to look at that and for example what CSS might be
   doing to support external parameter access. There
   ... may be security issues involved in doing that, to allow
   content from the local environment to be injected into
   ... the presentation content.

   nigel: Ooh yes.

   glenn: I could also see that you could use a condition that
   checks to see if a particular feature is supported. I want
   ... to see use cases for this. The question I would raise is
   that if you're processing it locally then why don't you
   ... use a preprocessor that uses macro substitution to replace
   values. Obviously that makes it less portable.

   nigel: We could define the macros.

   glenn: Most preprocessing like that uses server side
   replacement, but if it's genuinely client side only then that
   ... might be an issue. For example we have a user language
   parameter in condition that allows you to conditionalise
   ... content and style based on the local user language. That's
   a way to allow parameters to be used without
   ... exposing them.

   nigel: Yes, however many accessibility requirements specify
   client side customisation of e.g. font family, size, color etc.
   ... and there's no way described right now to achieve that.

   glenn: Traditionally solutions have included e.g. a CSS
   stylesheet that overrides local settings, or a presentation
   processor override.

   nigel: That's the sort of thing we need to discuss.

   pal: It's not straightforward but I'd like to participate in
   that discussion.

   atai: I see Nigel's point.

   group: Agreed to set aside some time to go deeper into this
   complex topic later.

TTML and WebVTT mapping document.

   nigel: tmichel asked about when we publish a FPWD, but it's a
   Note isn't it, so not subject to a FPWD?

   tmichel: There are two ways: we could issue a WD and then later
   a Note that we revise any time, or just go straight
   ... to Note, but at some point I'd like to publish it.

   nigel: Andreas, what do we need to do in your view before
   publishing it?

   atai: It's already publicly available. There hasn't been much
   feedback. The major problem with the mapping document
   ... is as we discussed before, that WebVTT is still changing.
   So I think first we need more feedback, with tests of
   ... existing implementations, and then conclude if we should
   publish it as a Note. I don't see it at the moment.
   ... I'm not sure also when the best point will be because that
   also largely depends on the WebVTT spec.
   ... At the moment it is really problematic to say which
   features we can depend on in WebVTT

   tmichel: If you want to give it more visibility don't you think
   publishing in /TR would give it more visibility?
   ... The first publication of a Note does not have to be final.
   I understand that there's a big dependency with WebVTT
   ... but does that mean we will not have a first Note before
   WebVTT is in CR?

   atai: Yes, let's see when this happens or when we can say that
   it's stable. As I said I think there's also the topic of
   ... testing, as well as feedback and the evolution of WebVTT.
   If the third takes too long then of course we can
   ... go for feedback outside the group. At the moment I don't
   see it right now. Maybe in Q2 this year.
   ... Also, if we pubish it on the /TR page there's a
   disadvantage as well as an advantage that it seems for people
   ... not reading the document that there is an easy translation
   but I don't think that's really the case at the moment
   ... so I would be very careful about early publication.

   nigel: I think there are issues open as well which we haven't
   been able to resolve.
   ... We're out of time so I'll adjourn. Meet same time next
   week. Please do look at the Charter before then. Thanks all.
