WG Meeting during W3C TPAC 2021

Hi,

This year again, W3C annual conference, TPAC, will happen in a virtual
format, over the course of two weeks: October 18 to 29.

While the first week will be dedicated to the unconference breakouts,
the second week is set for Working Group meetings, both for "solo" WG
meetings and joint meetings across groups [1]. Documentation on what
makes a "solo" WG meeting a good meeting for this virtual TPAC has been
shared at:
  https://www.w3.org/Guide/meetings/tpac.html

This includes:
> TPAC meeting is an opportunity for a Working or Interest Group :
> 
>     look on the progress and goals of the Group as well as the deliverables;
>     look at related work (e.g in Community Groups) and what's new out there within the scope or related to the Group's mission;
>     welcome new participants, understand their interests, get their questions/feedback on the Group, and potentially mentor them on how to contribute;
>     welcome observers, understand their interests in the Group, and get them interested in joining the Group and helping;

As a new Working Group, I believe it would be good for the Web Machine
Learning Working Group to organize such a meeting during the 2nd week.
In other words, such a meeting would be more an opportunity to reflect
on where we are, our next steps and explain the context of the group to
the broader community than it would be about solving specific technical
issues.

If we agree this would be useful, we need to document our interest in
https://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC/2021/GroupMeetings before September 10.

We should also determine whether joint meetings would be useful; it
could be useful for instance to meeting with the Privacy Interest Group
(PING), or with some of the media-related groups (WebRTC WG, Media WG,
Audio WG) to discuss the intersection of interests.
