Greetings to Barry
barry: background, been in ietf
for many years
... involved in idna-bis WG, eai WG, other i18n things
... just trying to ramp up participation in w3c
... figure out how this wg work, etc.
richard: sent welcome?
barry: yep
richard: for tpac
... they were thinking of letting people have like labels with
languages
... so that people who didn't understand well could get
interpretation
... convinced them to leave a blank space to fill in using a
bcp47 tag :-)
... wrote some instructions on how to find and assemble a
tag
... not only will that help, but raise awareness of what
language tags should look like
... and be a bit of fun
... "find a member of I18N WG for help"
... what's happening with slim review?
barry: will look at it, but earlier is better than later

<r12a> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/215
richard: snuck in since html5
published
... due maybe to syncing with whatwg document
... says rb and rtc are non-conforming
... added in 5.1
... odd that it's non-conforming
... CSS folks plan to implement jukugo using table model
... and that needs rtc
addison: non-substative because merely an author guideline
richard: any disagreement
addison: call for vote in support of this comment
