of
the
HTML
Activity
,
is
to
facilitate
focused
discussion
in
Chinese
of
the
HTML5
specification
and
of
specifications
closely
related
to
HTML5,
to
gather
comments
and
questions
in
Chinese
about
those
specifications,
to
collect
information
about
specific
use
cases
in
Chinese
speaking
regions
for
technologies
defined
in
those
specifications,
to
promote
public
review
and
testing
of
all
W3C
specifications,
to
raise
language,
script
or
cultural
issues
to
the
appropriate
W3C
Working
Groups,
and
to
report
the
results
of
its
activities
as
a
group
back
to
the

The
proposal
for
the
group
originated
from
consultation
with
W3C
members
and
other
community
members
in
Chinese-speaking
regions
on
how
to
help
facilitate
increased
involvement
in
W3C
activities
around
HTML5
and
related
technologies;
the
outcome
was
agreement
to
support
a
proposal
for
a
new
Interest
Group
that
would
help
address
the
following
general
realizations:
Potential
contributors
to
the
standards
work
who
have
familiarity
with
the
class
of
technologies
covered
in
the
HTML5
and
other
related
specifications
may
not
always
be
willing
or
able
to
participate
effectively
in
public
discussions
in
English,
but
may
be
able
to
participate
much
more
effectively
in
discussions
that
take
place
in
their
native
language.
Offering
a
setting
for
technical
discussions
among
contributors
in
their
native
languages
helps
to
provide
potential
participants
in
those
discussions
with
greater
opportunities
for
more
timely
(or
even
real-time)
online
communication
with
others
in
their
same
timezone,
and
greater
opportunities
for
coordinating
face-to-face
meetings
with
others
in
their
regions.
In
addition
to
the
HTML5
specification
itself,
the
IG
may
review
other
Open
Web
Platform
related
specifications
produced
by
other
W3C
groups.
Along
with
reviewing
the
HTML5
specification
and
related
specifications,
it
is
expected
that
the
group
will
also
gather
comments
and
questions
about
those
specifications,
collect
information
about
specific
use
cases
for
using
technologies
defined
in
those
specifications
in
Chinese,
and
report
the
results
of
its
activities
as
a
group
back
to
the
HTML
Working
Group,
Group
,
as
well
as
to
other
relevant
groups
and
to
the
W3C
membership
and
community.
The success of the HTML5 Chinese Interest Group will be evaluated based on how productively it engages with W3C members in China and the global Chinese-speaking community to promote discussion of HTML5 and related specifications, and how effectively it is able to to help produce supplementary documents for the refinement, implementation, and adoption of HTML5 and related technologies in the worldwide Chinese-speaking community.
The HTML5 Chinese IG will not produce Recommendation-track deliverables but a working draft of the Requirements for Chinese Text Layout in both English and Chinese as a Interest Group Note in 2014. Once the FPWD of this layout requirements is published, the HTML5 Chinese IG would work with the Internationalization Working Group to take this document further, to widen the exposure and review of the document. It may also produce other Interest Group Notes on HTML5 and related technologies, the contents of which might include (but by no means be explicitly limited to) the following:
The group may also choose to produce other non-normative deliverables, such as test cases and error reports — under the terms of the Policies for Contribution of Test Cases to W3C, and in coordination with any relevant working groups.
The
HTML5
Chinese
IG
will
produce
its
deliverables
according
to
whatever
schedule
its
collective
time,
interest,
and
resources
permit.

the
status

the
group

The HTML5 Chinese Interest Group has no formal dependencies on any other W3C Working Groups, but is expected to raise issues that relate to language, script or cultural support to the appropriate W3C Working Groups, and to report information related to the HTML5 specification back to the HTML Working Group, and to optionally report information about HTML5-related specifications back to other Working Groups; the groups it might choose to report information back to include (but by no means be explicitly limited to) the following:
The HTML5 Chinese Interest Group is also expected to take advantage of opportunities for discussion and collaboration with existing HTML5-related groups and communities working in Chinese.
Participation in the HTML5 Chinese IG is open both to W3C members and to public participants. Individuals who wish to join the group should follow the steps for joining documented on the HTML5 Chinese Interest Group page. Any person joining the group must do so with the understanding that Chinese is the principle language for communication in the group.
There are no minimum requirements for “good standing” in the group, and otherwise no minimum requirements for participation (other than an expectation that effective participation in the group requires some degree of ability to understand and communicate in Chinese).
The
Team
Contact
and
the
chairs
should
host
either
one
public
teleconferences
or
online
meeting
twice
a
month.
Any
meetings
the

schedules
will
be
announced
on

HTML5 Chinese IG discussions take place in Chinese. However, any Notes or other reports eventually contributed by a group back to the W3C will be made available in English (or in both English and Chinese).
This
HTML5
Chinese
IG
primarily
conducts
its
work
on
the
publicly
archived
mailing
list
public-html-ig-zh@w3.org
(

).For
issues
related
to
Chinese
text,
the
CJK
mailing
list
(English)
public-i18n-cjk@w3.org
(archive)
(

should
be
used
to
communicate
the
results
of
discussion
on
the
public-html-ig-zh
list
with
a
wider
audience
of
internationalization
experts.
The
group
will
use
the
HTML5
Chinese
Interest
Group
and/or
the
W3C
China
page
and
Wiki
to
provide
updated
public
information
about
its
activities.
As explained in the Process Document ( section 3.3 ), this group will seek to make decisions when there is consensus. When the Chair puts a question and observes dissent, after due consideration of different opinions, the Chair should record a decision (possibly after a formal vote) and any objections, and move on.
The HTML5 Chinese Interest Group provides an opportunity to share perspectives on the topic addressed by this charter. W3C reminds Interest Group participants of their obligation to comply with patent disclosure obligations as set out in Section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy. While the Interest Group does not produce Recommendation-track documents, when Interest Group participants review Recommendation-track specifications from Working Groups, the patent disclosure obligations do apply.
For more information about disclosure obligations for this group, please see the W3C Patent Policy Implementation .
This charter for the HTML5 Chinese Interest Group has been created according to section 6.2 of the Process Document . In the event of a conflict between this document or the provisions of any charter and the W3C Process, the W3C Process shall take precedence.
Please also see the previous charter for this group.
