RE: Preliminary roll call (was RE: Call for F2F agenda items!) - RESPONSE NEEDED!

Hi Ken,

I don’t mind, and assuming that other WG members have no objections to having her participate as an observer, she is welcome to attend. The observer status limits her ability to vote on things, but since I do not expect that we will discuss anything that would need to be resolved by a vote - her participation will not be restricted in any way. As a member of Adobe team she will be bound by Adobe's W3C agreement - i.e. any formal proposal or contribution to the WG would be governed by W3C IP policy that implies that if a member company has IP rights associated with the proposed work item or technical contribution that IP will automatically be made available to all on RF terms as defined by the policy.

And, while we are on the subject, I will have a colleague of mine Mike Matteo attending the W3C meetings, he is a relative newcomer to Monotype and in his role of VP of partnerships and Strategic Alliances he also expressed the desire to participate in our meeting as an observer. I hope the WG wouldn’t mind, but if you do - please speak up!

Cheers,
Vlad

Vladimir,

Persa Zula, who is a member of our Typekit team, is interested in joining in person. She would simply accompany me. Is that okay, or does something formal need to be done?

Regards...

If we get more responses and agenda+ topics to consider we can revise the time later this week.

Only two of the WG members (Rod and Ned) have replied to my emails, and at this time I am not even sure if (or how many of) you plan to attend the WG meeting.

So, with this in mind – please reply to this email indicating whether you plan to attend the WG meeting and be there in person, or if you plan to attend the meeting remotely, or if you won’t be able to make it on Nov. 9.

I think it would be useful for us as a group to revisit those items to see if they are still deemed relevant and useful, and discuss other things that you might wish to bring up – don’t be bashful!

E.g., looking at the last year CJK related discussion I wonder if making a submission that would fix ISO/IEC 14496-28 CFR standard might be a helpful endeavor – we can do it via an established liaison relationship between W3C and MPEG.
