   LM: I have not done that

   Re: ACTION-288:

   Henry proposes division in above mail

   HT: I broke up sections to get to right granularity and tried to
   make sure everyone got about the same number of pages
   ... everything gets read once most get read twice
   ... just a suggestion to get us started

   <DanC> (it works quite well for me)

   HT: I have no investment in this. Happy to modify

   Noah: Surprised me a liitle in terms of amount of reading
   ... but once I started worked well.

   DC: Seems good
   ... we will run into issue of overlap with other specs

   LM: More concerned with robustness principles
   ... emphasises what you shd accept rather than what/how you create
   material

   Noah: I suggest we withhold judgement till we do the readings
   ... lets go read and then discuss

   LM: There have been comments on general issues which seem like
   interesting architectural perspectives
   ... you may want to keep claims made by others in mind
   ... Look at spec and look for examples of what people have commented
   on.
   ... Where things are specified algorithmically rather than
   constraints on results
   ... and things not required in the spec
   ... New note today:

   <ht> [14]http://html5.digitalbazaar.com/a-new-way-forward/

     [14] http://html5.digitalbazaar.com/a-new-way-forward/

   <masinter> and discussion around it

   Noah: Helping the HTML effort succeed is one of our big themes ...
   so we should look for how to do that

   TVR: Depends on your definition of success.
   ... HTML folks may say "stay our of our way"

   Noah: No, they have listened to us
   ... so we shd discuss what success would mean
   ... Thinks about schedule
   ... is end of Aug too late?

   HT: That's what it has to be for me

   Noah: Asks about Last Call

   <DanC> See [15]http://www.whatwg.org/issues/data.html w.r.t. last
   call

     [15] http://www.whatwg.org/issues/data.html

   Dan: Look at graph above ... trending towrads zero in next month or
   two. Started 2 yrs ago
   ... This is Ian Hicksons view
   ... supports an Oct Last Call

   Noah: Hixie sent an authoring spec

   <DanC> DanC: Ian Hickson's count of issues is trending toward 0, but
   the WG has another issues list that doesn't have much momentum

   <noah> One of 3 things better be true:

   <noah> 1) Authoring spec looks good on the first try

   <noah> 2) Authoring spec isn't so good, but we don't care that the
   HTML 5 spec in its current from, so it's OK for the HTML 5 browser
   spec to head out to last call

   <noah> 3) Authoring spec isn't looking so good, and we said the core
   spec would be a base for the authoring spec, so we need to slow down
   and make sure what we're taking to last call is indeed a good base
   for authoring

   <noah> I'm not predjudging which is the case, but timing suggests it
   better be (1) or (2) because we're not leaving room for (3).

   Noah: This is going to Last Call in Oct. We cannot finish reading
   till end-August.
   ... we could push back on Last Call

   HT: No problem. Last Call is when we can comment

   Noah: Shall I ask TAG members to complete reading by end-August?

   Dan and HT: Checking Tim's schedule

   Dan: End August is good
   ... someone should reach Tim by phone

   Noah: I will do that

   <noah> ACTION: noah to tell Tim about HTML Reading plan [trivial]
   [recorded in
   [16]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2009/07/23-minutes#action01]

     [16] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2009/07/23-minutes#action01

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-289 - Tell Tim about HTML Reading plan
   [trivial] [on Noah Mendelsohn - due 2009-07-30].

   Noah: We are agreed that everyone will have their reading done by
   end-August

Architecture of the Web of Applications

   Noah: We agreed this would be one of our focus areas
   ... Summarizes that status of this item.
   ... (Aside) I need to create a TAG Report... I will start on this
   and send to folks for review

   Ashok: There is a Last Call for the GeoLocation API spec. This punts
   privacy to the implementations
   ... I think this is a concern.
   ... wanted to point this out to the TAG

   <noah> The question is, should we review:
   [19]http://www.w3.org/TR/geolocation-API/

     [19] http://www.w3.org/TR/geolocation-API/

   Ashok: I think TAG should review the GeoLocation API spec

   <noah> NM: What do other TAG members think?

   LM: I will discuss draft at IETF mtg. I will know more after that

   NM: We have a week to respond

   Dan: Suggest Noah quote para in AM's mail and send mail to WG saying
   we will comment

   <masinter> I would like to tell them we're going to discuss it

   Noah: I will say "we have receieved this. This is summer. I will
   point to para and say we may have comments on this."

   <masinter> My concern is whether there is an architectural mismatch
   between IETF and W3C architecture for geographic information.

   <scribe> ACTION: Noah to write to Geolocation WG saying "we have
   concern that the spec does not say enough about user privacy"
   [recorded in
   [20]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2009/07/23-minutes#action02]

     [20] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2009/07/23-minutes#action02

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-290 - Write to Geolocation WG saying "we
   have concern that the spec does not say enough user privacy" [on
   Noah Mendelsohn - due 2009-07-30].

   LM: Explains his concern: IETF is looking at related issues for the
   Web and we want to understand their impact

   <DanC> action-273?

   <trackbot> ACTION-273 -- Ashok Malhotra to carry forward framing
   issues around Archicture of APIs, with help from JK and LM -- due
   2009-06-15 -- OPEN

   <trackbot> [21]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/273

     [21] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/273

   <masinter> Concern is about architectural coherence, of which user
   privacy is an example technical issue

   Re: Action 273.

   Noah: Shall we leave open?
   ... it is a big theme. We have a draft TOC.

   <DanC> ACTION-273 due 11 Aug

   <trackbot> ACTION-273 Carry forward framing issues around Archicture
   of APIs, with help from JK and LM due date now 11 Aug

   Noah: AM can you act as shepherd on the issue?
   ... LM, JK and AM will be shepherds.
   ... Next due date Aug 11

   Re: Action 275:

   Dan: I talked with Phillipe and Matt Womer. They said IETF has an
   architecture but deployment is sparse.

   LM: I think it is a policy issue
   ... that it is not deployed, we should not have a policy

   <raman> Sir Humphrey: the administration of the policy of
   administration vs the policy of the administration of policy:-)

   Dan: IETF has proposed just policy but mechanism. W3C spec has
   policy not mechanism.

   Ashok as scribe: I don't think I got the above line correctly.

   <masinter> The IETF has a policy that user privacy preferences
   should be transmitted with user location, and has also endorsed a
   mechanism for accomplishing that policy

   <DanC> to some extent, anyway

   <DanC> " A conforming

   <DanC> implementation of this specification must provide a mechanism
   that

   <DanC> protects the user's privacy and this mechanism should ensure
   that no location information is made available without the user's
   express permission.

   <masinter> The W3C specification does not implement the mechanism,
   but also does not provide any other mechanism for accomplishing the
   IETF policy

   <noah> AM: I disagree. The W3C spec hasn't any policy. The
   implementation should handle privacy.

   <noah> DC: No, "MUST" handle, and that IS a policy

   <ht> I want to remind myself when we come back to action 279 that a)
   Safari/WebKit(maybe) and Mozilla will shortly ship CORS support but
   that b) There has been essentially no response to a large set of
   detailed set of security issues raised by Frederick Hirsch on 30
   June

   LM: W3C has no mechanism that would provide policy

   Dan: Deployed implementations do have some policies

   <masinter> IETF policy is that all mechanisms for transmission of
   user location should also include a mechanism for transmitting
   privacy preferences

   Dan: Disagrees

   <masinter> I should amend what I'm saying is: this is what the
   concern is, and what we should investigate

   <masinter> and the nature of what we should discuss

   Re. Action 275

   Dan: Kill the action

   <DanC> kill as in declare victory

   Re. Action 276

   <DanC> close action-275

   <trackbot> ACTION-275 Propose concrete steps wrt GeoPriv after

   LM: I will report back in 2 weeks. Chg due date to Aug 4

   <DanC> ACTION-278 due 4 Aug

   NM: HT did this. This is pending review. Can we close

   <noah> DC: But, is there different action.

   Dan: Close this but is there another action that shd arise

   <noah> CLOSE ACTION-279

   <trackbot> ACTION-279 Draft a message to webapps chairs relaying TAG

   NM: Shd we discuss in more detail on 8/6?

   <noah> Henry, you there?

   <noah> Can we give you new action to plan followup on lack of
   response on CORS?

   in face of lack of response
