Is the first the draft CfP for the group to review? 14:21:55 > -6 weeks - deadline for paper submissions 14:21:56 2 weeks from "call for papers" to paper submission deadline is really too short. W3C default for this is 4-6 weeks (sometimes even 8!). 14:21:57 > -6 weeks - call for participation 14:21:57 We haven't done this consistently. Maybe it should be optional? 14:21:58 > -4 weeks - review feedback 14:21:59 Let's check with the people who organized previous symposia whether 2 weeks is sufficient to get feedback from the reviewers and relay them? 14:21:59 > -3 weeks - deadline for final papers, announcement of program 14:22:00 Given previous experiences with people not responding on requested changes, it may be best to move "announcement of program" to the next stage when we open the registration. 14:22:00 > -2 weeks - final call for participation and registration opens 14:22:01 > -1 weeks - publication of accepted papers 14:22:01 We should have the papers published before we open the registration. However, we should not open registration only 1 week in advance and equally 2 weeks from "deadline for final papers" is not enough. 14:22:02 > 0 weeks - Day X - teleconference symposium 14:22:02 > 14:22:02 > +10 weeks - Editors Draft of WG Note for review by the WG 14:22:03 Maybe here is some slack? Can we try to get the drafts any earlier? 14:22:03 > +12 weeks - WG approval for publication of the WG Note 14:22:04 > +14 weeks - Working Draft publication of the WG Note 14:22:04 Tight but manageable *if* comments do not require substantial change. 14:22:04 > +18 weeks - WG approval for publication of the WG Note 14:22:05 Hmmm. This would be deadline for public comments, and then the editors would need to draft up another Editor Draft for the WG to review. 14:22:05 +20 weeks - Editor Draft of WG for review by the WG 14:22:05 +22 weeks - WG approval for publication of the WG Note 14:22:05 > +21 weeks - Publication and announcement of the WG Note 14:22:06 This would be +24 weeks. 14:22:18 sharper: > signs are my comments and so are shadi's 14:22:31 ..look at it as a timeline (see details) 14:22:49 ..9 month timeline with call for papers.. 14:23:12 ..what do we agree with and not agree with? 14:24:54 sounds good to me 14:25:12 q+ 14:25:28 zakim, ack me 14:25:28 unmuting Vivienne 14:25:29 I see no one on the speaker queue 14:25:36 manageable timeline - looks good 14:25:51 vivienne: can you explain the first few details.. 14:26:28 sharper: final call for papers would go out while people still have time to write one 14:27:50 ..(goes over details).. 14:28:07 sounds good 14:28:30 +1 14:28:32 zakim, mute me 14:28:32 Vivienne should now be muted 14:28:33 sharper: some of the bits may need to be more details 14:28:41 s/details/detailed/ 14:28:46 This looks good, but it would good to see it graphically? 14:28:57 maybe a flow chart? 14:29:24 sharper: yah a flowchart but not sure how to make accessible 14:29:35 ..could do a text and flowchart version 14:29:51 ..not seeing any feedback other than it looks reasonable 14:30:05 ..shadi and I are talking about making language more explicit 14:30:31 ..i'll re-write the wiki page and add a flow chart and a timeline calculator 14:30:35 sounds good 14:31:12 markel has left #rd 14:31:23 bye now 14:31:27 -markel 14:31:27 enjoy graduation 14:31:29 zakim, unmute me 14:31:29 peter should no longer be muted 14:31:35 -Vivienne 14:31:37 -Yehya 14:31:50 trackbot, end meeting 14:31:50 Zakim, list attendees 14:31:50 As of this point the attendees have been shadi, sharper, Justin, Yehya, Vivienne, markel, peter 14:31:52 sharper has left #rd 14:31:54 -shadi 14:31:57 -peter 14:31:58 RRSAgent, please draft minutes 14:31:58 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2013/07/10-rd-minutes.html trackbot 14:31:59 -Justin 14:31:59 RRSAgent, bye 14:31:59 I see no action items 14:32:00 -sharper 14:32:01 WAI_RDWG()9:30AM has ended 14:32:01 Attendees were shadi, sharper, Justin, Yehya, Vivienne, markel, peter
