W3C should probably have a clear policy of allowing individuals to join to attract the same kind of crowd and efforts 17:32:12 excellent. 17:32:26 we should have a telecon on W3C process and W3C role once we have some straman proposals. 17:32:26 tpa: also, have a more iterative process, like those groups, which historically the W3C has not been good at. 17:32:45 hhalpin: yes, that'd be great 17:32:56 s/straman/strawman 17:33:02 I think there are some clear point to report back on 17:33:13 but we're so in the middle of them, we don't necessarily see them 17:33:18 trackbot, end meeting 17:33:18 Zakim, list attendees 17:33:18 As of this point the attendees have been +39.011.228.aaaa, +049172247aabb, hhalpin, +1.774.811.aacc, +1.781.273.aadd, claudio, MacTed, +7.970.94.aaff, rreck, AlexPassant, tpa, 17:33:19 RRSAgent, please draft minutes 17:33:19 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2009/12/02-swxg-minutes.html trackbot 17:33:20 RRSAgent, bye 17:33:20 I see 3 open action items saved in http://www.w3.org/2009/12/02-swxg-actions.rdf : 17:33:20 ACTION: [DONE] cperey to take business narrative [1] 17:33:20 recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/12/02-swxg-irc#T16-13-55 17:33:20 ACTION: (2 weeks) hhalpin explain to henry and oshani doc editing process for usecases (2 weeks) [2] 17:33:20 recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/12/02-swxg-irc#T16-18-19 17:33:20 ACTION: tanglade to tag existing stories [3] 17:33:20 recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/12/02-swxg-irc#T16-19-31-1 17:33:21 there's stuff we've heard at every call 17:33:22 ... petef, +1.314.683.aagg, +1.207.220.aahh, +46.1.08.01.aaii, bblfish, danbri, pchampin, +1.412.225.aakk, Adam, +1.774.811.aall, Anita, cperey 17:33:32 and don't notice anymore
