    Greetings to Barry

    barry: background, been in ietf for many years
    ... involved in idna-bis WG, eai WG, other i18n things
    ... just trying to ramp up participation in w3c
    ... figure out how this wg work, etc.

    richard: sent welcome?

    barry: yep

    richard: for tpac
    ... they were thinking of letting people have like labels with
    languages
    ... so that people who didn't understand well could get
    interpretation
    ... convinced them to leave a blank space to fill in using a
    bcp47 tag :-)
    ... wrote some instructions on how to find and assemble a tag
    ... not only will that help, but raise awareness of what
    language tags should look like
    ... and be a bit of fun
    ... "find a member of I18N WG for help"
    ... what's happening with slim review?

    barry: will look at it, but earlier is better than later

    richard: snuck in since html5 published
    ... due maybe to syncing with whatwg document
