- a participant on the Advisory Board or the TAG
- an employee of a W3C member organization
- an invited Guest

Breakout sessions
26–30 October
This is an opportunity for everyone to propose, choose, and participate in breakout sessions on a wide variety of topics relating to W3C activities. It is a chance to contribute to discussions and connect with people working on ideas that may not fall within your usual areas of activity.
Most Breakout sessions are held at 14:00–15:00 UTC, since this allows participation from as many timezones as possible. A few who didn't need a global conversation per se have been scheduled twice (once at an Asia friendlier time, once at a US West Coast friendlier time). And a few could not be scheduled at 2pm UTC due to the constraints of the session organizers.
All the breakout sessions on Zoom use the passcode “2020”.
When you create slides for a breakout, we recommend the slide template in the style of TPAC 2020.
Breakouts are proposed by members of the W3C community, on topics broadly related to the web. They are expected to operate under W3C's Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct and to produce a public record of their discussions. Even while outside chartered W3C groups, participants should be aware of W3C policies.
Calendar
Unless indicated otherwise, sessions are scheduled to last 1 hour.
This full calendar is available as ical file (in addition to the icalendar files linked from each session)

Proposer: Chris Wilson (cwilso@google.com)
Summary: How should the W3C Process adapt to a world with fewer engine implementers, but more browsers and stakeholders? The open source browser projects are shipping tested, interoperable implementations of new specs well before they reach Recommendation. Horizontal review must happen at the incubation stage or shortly thereafter to have any impact on what browser teams ship. What if anything can the Process do to encourage early engagement by user representatives and horizontal review communities rather than using the PR stage as the checkpoint to ensure this happens? How do we define what web stakeholders should treat as the "real" web standards?
Goals: Gather ideas for the future of the W3C Process and incubation process.
Type: background description + Open discussion
W3C newcomers welcomed!
Proposer: Kazuyuki Ashimura (ashimura@w3.org)
Summary: Based on the discussion during the Second WoT Workshop in Munich, use cases on Smart Cities have been proposed to the Web of Thing IG. However, we need to collect even more use cases and system implmentation experiences of actual smart cities from all over the world, because Smart Cities topic depends on the cities' location, culture, etc., and include various sub-systems from many different vendors. So we'd like to hold discussion on the possible standardization for Smart Cities before forming a concrete discussion group within W3C.
Goals:
- Identify the stakeholders of Smart Cities standardization to drive the development of Web standards aligned with the real needs of Smart Cities
- and then discuss how to proceed including the possibility of holding a dedicated Workshop and forming a dedicated IG

Proposer: Tantek Çelik
Summary: Should W3C focus on building
a membership & community based on a shared set of core
values?
Recruiting to generate revenue (without regard to how new members' agendas will mesh with the good of the web) rather than reinforcing coherent shared principles and values to move the web forward has led to conflicts about things such as SOAP vs HTTP, DRM vs freely shareable information, and ad revenue vs privacy. When W3C had an active Director that made consistent trusted value judgments, the current W3C hierarchy worked reasonably well, but in a post-Director W3C who makes those judgments? If we expect the W3C community to pick up what the Director left off, it may be necessary to be more explicit about our core values, and be rigorous about applying those values when determining which work to charter and how to resolve objections.
Goals: Determine from participation and discussion if there are aspects of shared agreement (or even consensus) on (re)focusing W3C membership & community models on a shared set of core values.
Type: open discussion
Proposer: Simon Pieters (simon@bocoup.com)
