Hi again,

as you know, we have not had regular phone meetings in the past few  
months. Instead, we discussed quite a lot by email and finalised, in  
particular, the Requirements with Priorities document [1].

Actually, the group seems to be at a turning point now: we know what  
to specify, now we need to actually do it!

So I would like to suggest changing the pace of the work a little bit,  
by planning ahead a sequence of phone conferences every 2-4 weeks.

As a regular meeting slot, is Thursdays 14:00 UTC OK with everyone?  
(It corresponds roughly to the time slot we had before, but takes into  
account daylight saving time in the US and in Europe.) That is 16:00  
in Berlin, 15:00 in London, 07:00 in California, and 22:00 in Beijing.  
The meetings should not last longer than one hour.

How about meeting on the following dates:

* 19 June
*  3 July
* 31 July
* 21 August


The points to discuss at the first of these dates include at least the  
following:
* Can we agree on writing a draft spec in XML? If so,
  - would EARL [2] be a suitable starting point?
  - are there other suggestions for starting points?
* Can we agree on principles that should guide the spec writing?  
Things like, "simple cases should look simple" or "structure should be  
explicit enough to avoid confusion" etc.? Any suggestions?
* Can we identify a small group of very active people who are willing  
to push forward with a very first informal version of the spec?
* What is a reasonable time plan?

* (any other urgent topics)?

It time permits, we could also start discussing:
* Do we want this endeavour to continue, possibly towards a formal W3C  
standard?
* What are the pro's and con's of aiming for a new working group (WG)  
vs. becoming one of the topics discussed in an existing WG such as MMI?


If you cannot participate in the first of these meetings but want to  
make sure your voice is heard, please send your thoughts in an email  
to this list.

Best regards,
Marc
