RE: IVA Standard

Hi Dirk,

I think starting a regular call to talk about IVA standardization is a great idea. People are starting to recognize that some standardization would benefit the whole industry.

Here are the tools the W3C provides for Community Groups: https://www.w3.org/community/about/tool/.

The W3C doesn’t provide telecommunications for Community Groups, but we can use a W3C IRC channel for taking minutes in real time (useful for providing links, making real-time corrections and clarifications, formatting minutes, etc.). After a call we can send the link to the minutes to the public mailing list. If you can set up a Google meet to get us started in a voice call, that would be great. 

It sounds like there’s some common interests with the Voice Assistant Community Group, but for now I think we should just go ahead and get some discussion going in this group. 

Best,

Debbie

Subject: IVA Standard

 

Hey there,

 

unfortunately it seems to be somewhat quiet in this group. However, I feel that there are a lot of interesting topics out there to be discussed and there are also a lot of competent people in this group.

 

For me, the IVA standardization is one of the topics that I would like to advance.

 

As discussing via email seems to be quite hard and time-consuming, I propose to set up a regular call to discuss this issue in particular to give it a start.

 

To do so I have some questions

 

1. Are there any means/tools provided by the W3C to have scheduled calls?

 

If there are none, I would set up a Google meet for this.

 

2. We need to publish meeting notes about the outome of the calls to give others an opportunity to comment on that

 

How can this be done? I remember something like protocols out of IRC chats for the MMI working group. Alternatively, I could set mail them to this list.

 

3. There is another group for IVA standadization and for me the status of their approach is still not very clear?

Linke: https://www.w3.org/community/voice-assistant/

 

Shall this activity be started within this group or the other one?

 

Did I forget something?

 

Dirk
