This meeting

Philippe: Thierry sends his regrets until May 11.

Nigel: Today, for the agenda we have Charter, TTML1 3ED CR publication, TTML2,
... IMSC 1.1 CR transition, CSS, WebVTT CR transition.
... For AOB, I'd like to point to the AD Community Group I proposed, for general interest.
... Any other business or particular points to cover?

group: [silence]

TTWG Charter

<plh> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-ac-members/2018AprJun/0008.html

Philippe: The Charter went out for AC review earlier today. The only change that was done
... to the Charter was to re-add the explicit mention of the APA group in the dependencies.
... One of the things that we do right now for a transition is to check the dependency list
... - operationally it should not make any difference to you guys. If you try to move forward
... without proper vetting from the accessibility group you are going to be called out.
... I made some very minor tweaks in a separate pull request. The end of the review
... period is May 17. We expect the new Charter to begin around end of May, which matches
... the end date of the current Charter. Unless things go wild during AC review you should
... keep doing what you are doing, no disruption for the WG.

Nigel: Thank you. I did see the APA thing and comment on it.
... The only other thing I noticed recently is that a change to our Decision Policy slipped in,
... and I raised an issue to revert it.

Philippe: At this point to make a change like that we would need the feedback through the
... AC. If your AC rep points to that issue, that would be very helpful.
... Alternatively if anyone would rather not make that change, make sure that is surfaced
... in the AC review too.

Glenn: It does not sound like it would make much difference so I recommend making no change.

Revert Decision Policy? #27

Nigel: I would rather not have the discretion here.

Philippe: I am ambivalent on this. The cost to make the change is minimal as far as I know.

Nigel: Thank you Philippe.

Glenn: At least Skynav and IRT have already responded.

Philippe: Great, thank you. I will provide reminders as the time approaches.

TTML1 3rd Ed CR

Philippe: My understanding is the Director has made a decision but the document has not
... been published so I will take care of it at the top of my list. It has not been done because
... Thierry has not been around.
... I will reach out to Pierre to make sure that what I publish is what you guys want me to
... publish on that.
... I'm going to shoot for publication on Tuesday.

Nigel: That would be great.

Glenn: If there's a difficulty I can step in but Pierre is on point for this right now.

Nigel: There's one open editorial issue, #349, which I would rather be fixed if possible,
... but I'd rather publish as soon as possible even with that issue not fixed.

Philippe: Ok

Nigel: Glenn has proposed a pull request that is equivalent for TTML2, so it should be easy to back-port to TTML1 3rd Ed.

TTML2

Glenn: There are a few pull requests that are lacking review so I'd appreciate you looking at
... them Nigel, 701, 705, 707 and 716.

Nigel: Apologies, I've been away, I'll get on to those.

Glenn: Thanks, other than that I don't have anything else to raise.
... There are 3 older pull requests I need to get to, and I'm expecting to be able to spend
... time on TTML2 shortly and dig into the existing issues that don't have pull requests.

<plh> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-cfe/2018Mar/0005.html

Glenn: My goal would be to plan for a CR2, I'm trying to think of a good target for publication.

Philippe: With regards to the call for exclusion, you can safely ignore it.
... It only starts the clock on the diff between CR1 and CR2.

Glenn: Okay we need to see what the substantive changes are.
... I'm hoping to have it wrapped up at the latest by the end of May but I'd like to try before
... that, maybe mid-May if possible, let's say May 15.

Nigel: For a version of the spec for the WG to review for publication?

Glenn: If we take that into account, I'd like to publish by end of May, so I'll definitely aim for May 15.
... I'm still trying to get to a July 1 Rec date, so if we push to end of May for beginning review
... then that's really tight.

<plh> https://w3c.github.io/spec-releases/milestones/?rec=2018-07-03

Philippe: The latest date to publish the CR is April 17!

Glenn: okay, we've missed that.

Philippe: There are several constraints - you need 4 weeks for AC review, so that's one month,
... and you should count in general 1 week for Director decision and publication assuming
... we do not receive any objections and the stars are aligned for publication.
... Another constraint is the patent policy, so the end of AC review cannot be later than 10
... days after the end of the exclusion period.

Glenn: Clearly we're not going to get to Rec by July 1 so probably the best we can hope for
... is getting to PR by July 1.

Philippe: If you publish an updated CR on June 5 then the PR will be mid-July at the earliest.
... If you want PR at beginning of June then you need to publish the updated CR on 24th April.

Glenn: Okay, so looks like we might be mid-June at the earliest for the PR.

IMSC 1.0.1

Nigel: Where are we up to with IMSC 1.0.1 Rec publication?

Philippe: It looks like this fell into a crack. We got full support, so I'm going to try to get
... Director approval by tomorrow afternoon for publication on Tuesday if I can squeeze it in.

Nigel: I'm aware of other external groups waiting for IMSC 1.0.1 Rec publication too.

Philippe: I'll do it for Tuesday.

Nigel: Thank you!

IMSC 1.1 CR

Nigel: We made the resolution so we need the transition request.

Philippe: This will probably not happen until next week so I'll send you a draft on Monday
... probably Nigel, if you don't get it then ping me, hopefully that will mean we can publish
... on Tuesday the following week.

Nigel: Okay, thank you!

CSS actions

Andreas: One member who had a leading role presenting issues in the joint meeting was
... Pierre so I'm reluctant to discuss the issues without him, I would rather wait until next week.

Nigel: Okay, I just want to highlight for the minutes that work has happened in CSS WG
... and note that Pierre and I have made some comments. I'd like to encourage any other
... members of TTWG to review those issues and contribute any other views, supporting or
... otherwise.

[css-sizing][css-align][css-text] Aligning an aligned block of text within its container

[css-inline] Allow background of an inline area to extend to before-and after-edges of the line area

[css-inline][css-text-4] Allow padding to be applied at line start and end

Nigel: We can come back to these issues for further discussion next week assuming we're quorate.

WebVTT CR publication, actions

Nigel: David closed the call for consensus saying it passes, and I think he has asked for a
... transition request to be prepared.

Philippe: I need to do something similar as with IMSC 1.1.
... Which one came first?

Nigel: The IMSC 1.1 decision was declared first.

Philippe: Then I will put WebVTT at the bottom of my queue.

Nigel: I want to close off the two outstanding issues on this, which have been cluttering the agenda
... pointlessly for years I think:

action-396?

<trackbot> action-396 -- David Singer to Produce evidence of request for wide review for webvtt, for the archive -- due 2015-04-17 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/TT/tracker/actions/396

close action-396

<trackbot> Closed action-396.

Nigel: I believe David considers this done!

action-502?

<trackbot> action-502 -- Thierry Michel to Explain to david that we need a more consistent disposition of comments for webvtt. -- due 2017-08-10 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/TT/tracker/actions/502

Nigel: If Thierry hasn't done this yet then I'm surprised. Reopen if necessary please.

close action-502

<trackbot> Closed action-502.

AD Community Group

Proposed Group: Audio Description Community Group

Nigel: I proposed this on April 5, and it now has 13 supporters.
... The idea is to create a profile of TTML2 for AD, eventually to be added to the TTWG Charter
... for Rec track later.

Philippe: If you want to add this to the Charter then that can be done by discussion with
... Thierry, Wendy et al. Similarly if you want to create a new WG, talk to Wendy.
... FYI they are tracking those type of things in GitHub so you can go there and add them
... to their list.

<plh> https://github.com/w3c/strategy/projects/2

Nigel: Great, thank you.
... Who looks after the creation of the CG?

Philippe: Let me find out - I'll make sure the right person presses the right button!

Nigel: Okay, thank you.
... By the way, we will be looking for an Editor for that AD profile.

Meeting close

Nigel: We've hit the end of our agenda, so thank you everyone, have the rest of the time back! [adjourns meeting]

<plh> CG has been approved

AD Community Group

Nigel: Thank you!
