Dirk: 4 points, 1. updates to SSML

Debbie: there's a lot interest, but not a priority for us right now

Dirk: 2. defining additional hooks for Web pages to aid voice-driven
navigation

Debbie: probably not a priority either

Dirk: 3. "The voice assistant platforms include a lot of proprietary
technologies that are very unlikely to be standardised"

...we should find a way to find somethings to standardize

Debbie: usually don't standarize technologies, mostly API's

... 4. good agreement around the room that a W3C workshop would be well
worth exploring.

Dirk: that would be a good idea

Debbie: yes

Debbie: big players don't always have to be on board, sometimes even a
single person can get something going

Debbie: W3C workshops are organized by the W3C, have a program committee,
meet, produce a report

... also some discussions at SpeechTEK

Dirk: talk about the use case

Debbie: (reviews use case of travel planning)

Dirk: authentication could be something for the future

Debbie: add use case to next version

Dirk: can you create template and add use case?

...in the github repository
(https://github.com/w3c/voiceinteraction/tree/master/voice%20interaction%20d
rafts

)

...new document "Intelligent personal assistant architecture"

Debbie: there should be an overview

...boxes would be connected by API's

Debbie: what to standardize?

...format of dialog registry

...interface between the red parts and the blue parts

...what contacts the Provider Selection Service?

Dirk: possibly the dialogs themselves

Dirk: information needed is utterance string, url

Debbie: maybe separate "core provider" into its own box

Debbie: revise use case to be independent of the architecture

Dirk: add explanation of how the use case is reflected in the architecture,
in addition to the pure use case

Dirk: how to gain more momentum? Ask group when they could attend a call

Debbie: having a document will give people something to react to
