Stachowiak on 2010-04-01 (public-html@w3.org from April 2010) (at 
lists.w3.org)

paulc: are you looking for additional help, or determining if you need 
to coordinate

adrian: the latter, if we get multiple volunteers I would rather 
collaborate up front than merge later
4. WG Decision Policy update (Maciej)

mjs: I started on making some updates, starting with simple and 
relatively uncontroversial items.
... there are likely bigger changes coming up: watch for more changes, 
and comments are welcome at any time

will continue to edit the document, and when the time comes we will 
issue a call for consensus.

in the proper state; we will give the authors a chance to raise the 
issue if they access, or otherwise we will assist with this work

paulc: I note that 105 has an A11y aspect to it; Mike can you bring it 
to the attention of the A11y task force.

mike: Steven is the one that raised it, and I will follow up with 
Steven; he will need to be the one to take the lead
12. Scribe for next meeting

<plh> regrets for next week

mjs: I will chair next wee

paulc: I will scribe

<paulc> Any other business?

<paulc> Sam is concerned about muttiple WGs using the same MIME type?

<paulc> What is the other WG?

plh: xhtml2 is not fully closed yet, and we will let them do their updates
... they are working on the xhtml1.1 documents
... at the moment we would have two groups using the same mime type

paulc: did that answer the question as to what other working group is 
touching the mime type?

julian: yes, but it doesn't answer the question as to whether this 
appropriate

plh: we will need to bring this to the coordination group
... it would send a strong message if the HTML5 working group were to 
state that they are the only one who should use the text/html MIME type

julian: the W3C owns the mime type; from an architectural point of view 
it doesn't matter unless the XHTML wg updates the mime type

paulc: is there actually a chair in place for the XHTML2 working group?

plh: yes

paulc: perhaps we can invite the co-chair to a telecon?

plh: I'm willing to take an action item to contact the chairs

paulc: that's the best way to deal with this

<scribe> ACTION: plh to contact the various chairs/co-chairs to resolve 
the use of the text/html mime type [recorded in 
http://www.w3.org/2010/04/01-html-wg-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-178 - Contact the various chairs/co-chairs to 
resolve the use of the text/html mime type [on Philippe Le Hégaret - due 
2010-04-08].

<Julian> - clarifying - a document with new info about text/html is 
irrelevant from a standards point of view unless the mime type 
registration is updated to point to it

paulc: does this deal with the agenda item?

rubys: yes

<paulc> Adjounred at :30 after the hour.

paulc: adjourned
