tzviya: sent link for epubcheck funding https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wp_fRMd4aM_73K_bhajIybT-AFOzW_eVC5OHuBlR5iw/edit?usp=sharing
... please finish within 1 week

liisamk: I'll add funding levels

tzviya: Review committee is romain, tobias, liza, and brady

<scribe> scribenick: tzviya

tzviya: who from this group will be involved in reviewing proposals?

George: question about conflict of interest because DAISY is proposing a response to RFP
... Romain is on DAISY team but is essential for review
... I think we can just direct Romain to be objective
... I can recuse myself from decision

Bill_Kasdorf: Romain's input is essential on assessment, but perhaps not on final decision

<RickJ> sorry... have to drop

liisamk: proposal for how this should go - we ask review committee to review each proposal with notes, and we assessment, propose that to BG as a whole with a recommendation

garth: I was going to recommend something similar, except that I would expect a rec from review committee and that SC will make a choice

Bill_Kasdorf: another way to state that is that SC makes a choice and BG approves the decisions

tzviya: SC will ask review committee to review proposals and make a recommendation. SC will make a choice. BG will approve that choice.

George: Who is contract with? W3C? MIT?

liisamk: Who should we confirm that with?

tzviya: I think Wendy Seltzer

liisamk: we spoke about having companies stating commitment as we went out with this. Progress

garth: in progress

Bill_Kasdorf: have we established levels?

liisamk: yes, I'll add it to draft

tzviya: Rachel mentioned that Macmillan committed $5000

George: Fundraising campaigns that I've seen often have commitments of half the amount, creating momentum

liisamk: We are working on that

TPI Members in the Future

George: TPI finishes in less than 6 months
... we need to clarify the costs at different levels, including participating in just BG
... and help people convince their managers that it's useful to participate

liisamk: will this be tough at all levels?
... how do we make sure that the business level membership is worth it? How do we make sure that the CG is useful to people who just don't have the cash?

Bill_Kasdorf: similar thoughts to liisamk. Unlikely that most members will become full members.

liisamk: mebmership fee table doesn't show BG fees

George: I thought that there was a category for joining just one vertical

<liisamk> https://www.w3.org/Consortium/fees?countryCode=US&quarter=01-01&year=2019#results

liisamk: there is no info about BGs, just a link to Business Group fees

<liisamk> https://www.w3.org/community/about/fees/

<garth> “Participation limited to one Interest Group” — it that really WORKING group?

liisamk: should we discuss this with BG?

tzviya: we should get some clarity about pricing first

liisamk: perhaps we should get a feel for interest at least?

best practices

liisamk: it seems like we need a more formal way to raise something in BG, send it somewhere, and track it
... example is blank pages or pages that move around in digital edition
... it would be nice if we could sign on to the fact that you are using a best practice

a

tzviya: I spoke to Dom Hazeul-Massieux about possible putting EPUB best practices on mdn, Many hurdles - need for resources, including financil

George: I like the idea of getting together on best practices, possibly storing on mdn

liisamk: should we get together about one best practice and come to consensus about it?

George: maybe the CG can work on them and present to BG?

liisamk: my concern is to make sure that we make sure that the business needs are surfaced
... should we have a BG meeting on tuesday?

RESOLUTION: meeting cancelled

TPAC planning

garth: friday meetings?
