Re: Second Screen Presentation Community Group Proposed

Hi Marie-Josée.

Agreed on the terminology - we at the BBC are generally avoiding the “second screen” terminology, and we do prefer “companion screen”. There’s actually a good, humorous blog post on the topic:
http://www.bewareofthesorrell.com/2011/09/tv-is-second-screen.html

That said, I am not the person who proposed the CG nor am I in touch with them. All I have so far is what I forwarded - the mere notification that the group has been proposed, and given the popularity of the topic, the assumption that it will be created.

A reply on the public-new-work mailing-list may yield something:

Best,
Olivier

In any case good idea as the demands of the non traditional screening devices require new APIs. I would probably be interesting to link this work to some of the webrtc work as well as to some of the "acceleration" mechanisms proposed in the IETF which while not directly related to the "how the device is connected" is inherently linked to user experience.
