RE: IG charter: modification suggestion - Scope & Decision

Dear Yosuke san,

If clarification wants to cover every single details of web and TV. It will take endless time. I'm fine with the word minimum in that regard.
However, if clarification of architecture/concept discussion starts, it will expand/jump to unexpected area easily. That’s my experience of various standard works during past 10 yrs. I think use case elaboration would be efficient tool to get common understandings for clarification for discrepancy between interesting party. We could study or reference architecture from other SDOs. I think as of this level of maturity, participants may have mostly sharing common sense of relation and architecture of web and TV.

With this experience in mind, I suggest not to use vague term such as conceptual relationship and architectural relationship in scope section.
Rather I think clarifying can be done by identifying and prioritizing the requirement and use cases.
That's why I mentioned missing words: use case and prioritizing.

I think my industry term surely includes broadcasters as well as other industries. Most major broadcasters in Japan, UK, USA, Germany, Korea launched web services already even their service level is widespread. The most difference will be hybrid support as far as I can tell.

Best regards,
HJ

I am sorry to say that I do not agree with you.  The reason is as  
follows.
Most of the broadcasters who participate in the workshop think  
sufficient common sense about Web and TV among the participants is not  
formed yet, and lack of it made the meaning of the use cases and the  
functions vague.  Clarification about it is demand from the  
broadcasters.  Broadcaster is a part of industry too.

I would like to clarify the difference or relation between your  
suggestion (third line) and above two lines (first line and second  
line) before add your line to the draft charter.

Could you tell me your understanding?

First of all, I would like to point out that your "industry" does not  
contain broadcasters.

Before expressing my opinion about this topic, I would like to hear  
from Kaz about IGs typical role and position in W3C lately.

Regards,
Yosuke
