W3C Considerations
From OWEA
In order to be considered as a W3C Activity or Domain, W3C management will need to consider several factors which should be examined in detail by the OWEA XG:
- overview of membership levels, and how that might work within the existing W3C membership?
- what deliverables OWEA will produce?
- what is the desired (and realistic) timeframe for launching OWEA?
- what are OWEA's structural needs (within W3C)?
- why is being a domain preferable over an activity?
- if it is for direct representation within W3M, what is that needed?
- what issues would the structure solve are they trying to solve? autonomy? what else?
- why is being a domain preferable over an activity?
- what team resources will be needed from W3C in order to accomplish OWEA's goals?
- how many people, and how many hours?
- what particular skills? (I would suggest an IT/systems developer, a lawyer familiar with education, non-profits, and publishing, and a team contact or activity lead with product/project management experience and connections into the education world)
- would this come out of W3C's budget, or could OWEA bring resources to do this?
