Introducing W3C Webizen project to W3C Offices, work under construction

Dear W3C Offices,
cc: Alan, public-webizen,

I would be grateful if you could have a look at the work in progress on  
W3C Webizen:
   https://www.w3.org/wiki/Webizen

In a nutshell, this 2014 Headlights task force is currently investigating  
a framework to allow individuals to affiliate with the W3C and participate  
(there are caveats). We are 4 weeks away of holding a discussion on it at  
the June W3C Advisory Committee Meeting.

The W3C Offices were mentioned twice in the past month.

A month ago at the task force meeting, I was tasked with an action to seek  
your feedback, as regional W3C Offices, on
1) who do you think our Webizens will be?,
2) could W3C Offices identify a few likely candidates and seek what the  
reactions are to the program?

Additionally, a very recent proposal in the wiki is all about the W3C  
Offices:
   https://www.w3.org/wiki/Webizen#Drafting_a_Webizen_network_structure

Here's a snapshot of the text:

[[
In order to favor local *and* international community development, in  
addition to belong to a global community, W3C Offices should also track  
Webizens in their geography. Existing W3C offices are available  
http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Offices/staff. When joining a webizen would  
choose an office (the one he or she wants) and thus would be associated  
with that local life. This would help them be knowledgeable of local  
symposia, workshops, discussions, etc. about web technology. The local  
offices structure could be used later for a regional based organization  
and voting fragmenting reference.
]]

The task force is now set to iron out the details and smoothen the text.  
Although it is still a moving target, I am now seeking your feedback, so  
you can help shape it to match realistic expectations.

Please, feel free to relay your feedback individually, or as a group,  
either to me but preferably on the open and public mailing list of the  
task force, by writing to public-webizen@w3.org. You may edit the wiki  
directly. And of course, each of you is welcome to become a participant of  
this task force.

Thanks in advance!
Coralie
