W3C Considerations

From OWEA
Jump to: navigation, search

In order to be considered as a W3C Activity or Domain, W3C management will need to consider several factors which should be examined in detail by the OWEA XG:

  • overview of membership levels, and how that might work within the existing W3C membership?
  • what deliverables OWEA will produce?
  • what is the desired (and realistic) timeframe for launching OWEA?
  • what are OWEA's structural needs (within W3C)?
    • why is being a domain preferable over an activity?
      • if it is for direct representation within W3M, what is that needed?
    • what issues would the structure solve are they trying to solve? autonomy? what else?
  • what team resources will be needed from W3C in order to accomplish OWEA's goals?
    • how many people, and how many hours?
    • what particular skills? (I would suggest an IT/systems developer, a lawyer familiar with education, non-profits, and publishing, and a team contact or activity lead with product/project management experience and connections into the education world)
    • would this come out of W3C's budget, or could OWEA bring resources to do this?
