Minutes:

1.) roll call 11am EDT, membership
(DH) SpecGL out of CR: publication, except if comments are made, Monday 
10/11/2003

2.) Any routine business
        - 10 Nov guest-chair/guest topic?  [DHM]
		LH: fallback? noone ready.
        - guest-chair/guest topic 8-dec: volunteer?
        - or ... assign alphabetical order in QAWG list?
        - "rules" -- do it yourself, or recruit non-QA person

KD: Action item for people to come up with a topic
LH: Will create an alphabetical list and send to WG list, including a 
list of AI. Two weeks before it gets sent out to whoever is designated 
as the AI holder, together with any references.

3.) In-reach idea:  Chairs telecon (January)
        - "Lessons learned along the rec track" -- QA case study?
LH: any ideas? What about stacking this as minor topic and revisit it 
in a future telcon? Effectively, it's a case study for Test Suite 
building, SpecGL or OpsGL.

4.) WWW2004 panel proposal
        - f2f minutes [1]
        - new DM contribution [2]

LH: list should be submitted before Nov. 13
DM: Title OK? No objections.
DM: Themes
DD: Proposed addition: Relationship between company and WG outcome 
(contract situation).
DM: Will look at suggested themes of the conference to make it tie. 
"Divided loyalties"?
DM: Intended audience
LH: Should be extended to "users of the web" generally, especially 
interested in those that try to implement standards to aid 
interoperability and conformance.
DM: OK
DM: Assurance of liveliness: no comments
DM: Take home message.
KD: What do you mean by enforcement?
DM: not enforcement de jure.
KD: not so much enforcement, more people follwing the trend?
DM: will be careful using the word enforcement
DM: panelists. No specifical name for the role of victim of poor past 
practicess at last discussion. Kiri Kormanne? Someone for Corel had bad 
experience relative to SVG?
LH: Could we not identify Corel in the minutes? I will discuss with a 
couple of SVG people whether they might fit into the victim category, 
they may want to fit into a success category.
KD: we can come up with a few names, depends on what kind of 
personality you want on the panel.
DM: NIST has been mentioned as a source of people with good position 
for such a panel, Mark Skall as a purist/idealist.
KD: will scan the evangelist list for good names.
DD: proposes himself as a purist.
DM: we need the balance. Ken Holman could be thought of as an example 
of trainer/author.
DM: Can we think of an insider?
LH: Lynne is best to comment on that.
LH: We'll try to come up with a list of candidates for each role.
KD, LH, DD: Action item to come up with list of candidates/roles for 
WWW2004 panel by 2003-11-08
