Cambridge June discussion due date now next week

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]

[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

[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
