<pimpbot> Title: Teleconference cheat sheet - Protocols and Formats Working Group Wiki (at www.w3.org)

Paul: Give us an update, Maciej

Maciej: The last call comment process
... we published a draft for discussion... there was good feedback... changes were made.

<adrianba> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Oct/0341.html

Maciej: fixed a few issues... one significant comment still outstanding.

<pimpbot> Title: RE: [minutes] 20091008 HTML Working Group call from Adrian Bateman on 2009-10-12 (public-html@w3.org from October 2009) (at lists.w3.org)

Maciej: from Adrian Bateman.
... I'd like to continue the action until next week.

<paulc> action-141 due in 1 week

<trackbot> ACTION-141 Document Last Call comment process due date now in 1 week

Paul: Once we get a revised version, we should get a call for consensus.

Manu: I was asked to do a Change Proposal, what should I do?

Maciej: You can volunteer to do a CP before the document has a call for consensus.

Manu: I'll write up a change proposal.

Maciej: The contents of Manu's proposal doesn't have everything that we'd ask to have in a Change Proposal.

<mjs> http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html#change-proposal

<pimpbot> Title: HTML Working Group Decision Policy (at dev.w3.org)

Maciej: There are 4 things that we ask to be in a CP
... Indication on how baseline spec was changed.
... Rationale... and impact statement.

Cynthia: Is there any place to host a change request at this point?
... How should we submit change proposals?

Maciej: I'll try and set up a namespace on the HTML WG wiki for this, to make the process easier... But you can also send it as an email or an attachment.

Cynthia: Comments about process itself.... on PF call, question came up about the one month deadline.
... how does this work with a backlog of issues?

Maciej: We are not sending a call for volunteers for the entire backlog of issues to ensure that the list doesn't get swamped

Paul: So, the 30-day date only starts once somebody volunteers to do the task.

Cynthia: Once an issue has been escalated and had a WG decision.
... Once there is consensus, is there a deadline for the editor to make the change?

Paul: Don't think so, Maciej?

Maciej: We can't exit last call until all comments are addressed... so it behooves the editor to address all LC comments.

Paul: If the editorial team can't keep up, that's a problem.

Maciej: It depends on the nature of the change proposal.

Cynthia: I'm concerned that editorial changes may get preference based on the editor's preferences.

Paul: If that becomes an issue, you should approach the chairs.
... There are ways the chairs could mitigate the issue.

Maciej: I agree.

Paul: Adrian's issue is still outstanding, we'll leave the e-mail discussion open until next week
... Item C - Action-150 create bugzilla entry

Item C - Action-150 create bugzilla entry

Paul: Manu created this bug as requested.
... Maciej asked that the bug become split into separate issues.
... The discussion could continue on the HTML WG.

Maciej: It's better to file issues as separate bug reports.
... My comments are just a suggestion...
... We should close the action... up to Manu how he should proceed.

<paulc> close action-150

<trackbot> ACTION-150 Create a bugzilla entry on head/@profile closed

Manu: I'm concerned with how we deal with the issues as a FPWD.

Call for VOlunteers for Test and Accessibility TF

Paul: We're trying to find volunteers right now

Plans for F2F meeting

Paul: Web poll has said that we might have 25 people + observers in the room
... We originally reserved the room for 15... how do we have a large enough room?
... Chairs should take an action to address this issue, if it is an issue
... don't know how many people have registered as potential observers?

<kliehm> I regret I can't attend TPAC. :-(

Snedders: We had as many observers as working group members last years - around 25 members, 25 observers.

<MichaelC> Registrants for HTML: http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35125/TPAC09/registrants#html

Paul: We might encourage some to attend through Thurs/Friday - we should make sure we get the right size of room.

Cynthia: Room last year worked pretty well last year.
... a rectangle of tables, and 4-5 rows of seats at the back

Michael: We have 40-60 people... should work with Mike and Susan to make sure the room is big enough.

Paul: I'll make sure that I and the other chairs take care of this...

Joint Meetings

Paul: Two joint meetings planned
... First is with TC-39
... Common topics are more interesting to WebApps than us.
... That's on Friday
... TAG has approached the co-chairs about scheduling joint meeting between TAG and HTML WG
... They have a slot after lunch on Thursday

Maciej: The format of the meeting itself...
... We haven't decided on a format yet...
... we're trying to use the 'unconference' style for the meeting - BarCamp style
... short statement introducing the meeting
... short 5-10 minute lightning presentation or presenting a breakout session
... straw poll of attendees, schedule sessions on the fly
... this will work well because people can focus on the areas that they are interested in.
... it will help more people attend things they are more interested in.
... smaller groups will be more successful at discussing items.
... video element came out of last years TPAC using this approach.
