Choices per topic

Option 1: Do nothing
Already addressed in a W3C WG or best addressed outside of W3C
No concrete work item and/or no concrete agreement
Option 2: Scope refinement within a BG/IG
Use cases & requirements need to be agreed upon
Roadmap is still unclear, needs to be discussed
Option 3: Incubate idea in a CG
Technical problem is understood but solution space still needs to be explored
No general agreement in the room to go beyond that for now
Option 4: Create/Re-charter a WG
Technical problem is understood, solution space has been explored
There is agreement in the room to develop a W3C Web standard
