6. Future of the Multimedia Semantics XG

Raphael: discussed in last telecon, meeting with Ivan Herman today
... W3C has problems with task members
... increase number of working groups, stop to make working groups
... working groups tend to think that best practices working groups are not a good idea
... Ivane: another XG good idea

<raphael> ... IG is also a good idea

Raphael: another possibility: interested group, much lighter charter, do not have to produce documents

<raphael> ... but it can and the documents are endorsed by W3C

Vassilis: if we have the change to procede to a working group, it is better for getting industrial partners

<raphael> Vassilis: if we have a chance to proceed to a WG, it would be better to have industrial partners

<raphael> ... even though about the IPP issues

<raphael> ... since a WG has a much more impact

<raphael> ... and companies would be more interested

<raphael> ... they might think they loose their time in an XG

<raphael> ... and people would be more motivated

Raphael: do you have in mind some companies: Adobe, Microsoft, Joost, HP...

Susanne: should find to keep interest people in formal or informal way

<raphael> Erik: agrees with Vassilis, better for impact to be in a WG

Erik: the more impact we can have, the more we can ensure more staff

7. AOB

Raphael: XG will be closed in two months, worries about completing all the documents

<suzmax> bye Susanne and Massimo
