http://www.w3.org/2010/01/MW4Dcharter2.html

raphael: clarify "to understand the barriers that prevent people in developing countries to use mobile phones to interact with Web content, and to develop and deploy content and services"

steph: ok

<betty_> Harnessing social networking for social development?

arun: be more domain specific, and propose concrete solution
... timeline

nicolas: note 1 and 4 close

<ArunK> Yes, I agree with you Stephane and understand the resource constraints. So, all I am suggesting is that we take those into accounts and define more specific goals (small they may be) so that we can reach good concrete solutions when we close the group.

raphael: timeline needs to be more detailed

<nicolas> +q

<ArunK> Yes, you have summarized my proposal well Stephane.

<ArunK> I agree with Nicholas

<ArunK> Business models would vary by domain

<raphael> I agree that bizmodels are area dependent / subject specific

nicolas: agree we should start domain specific

<ArunK> The players in the ecosystem and stakeholders plus the constraints are different

<nicolas> +q

proposal: changing the split between topics to between domain

nicolas: i also wanted to mention adoption

how do you do that ?

<nicolas> completely in line with Arun

arun: from my experience, it is hard to come with business model that are generic

dependent on the stakeholder

arun: propose we go one domain by domain
... one group can collect bmodel from different domains

bottom-up approach

better

got cut

calling back

<raphael> come back w/us!

yes trying

<raphael> how many sub-groups are we talking about, then?

<nicolas> 4

<nicolas> if 4 domains right?

<raphael> 5? health, agric, gov, educ, bizmodels?

<raphael> +1

<betty_> m-commerce or/banking in the charter/

<ArunK> I agree

stephane: we should decide the priority not in the charter

<raphael> steph: we leave other topics to enter the group's focus according to available resources (time/people/subject leader)

but based on the resources

<betty_> Sorry, I have to leave for another meeting. I'll check the minutes later. Bye.
