Unfortunately I am likely to miss the call tonight, sorry. I won't
know if I can make todays slot until shortly before.

That agenda looks good to me.

I would hope to have access to at least some
numerical data for a woff1 to woff2-brotli comparison before the
meeting, just to get the evaluation report more fleshed out. At
present it just says what we are *not* doing (and why); its better if
it has some info on what we are now doing, and to what extent that is
better than woff1. And this would give us a better report to review at
the f2f.

Whether woff2-brotli is less good than woff2-lzma and by how much is
interesting, but is not the primary thing we were asked to do as a
group - improve woff1.
