– DRAFT –
Spoken Pronunciation Task Force Teleconference

<JF> the feedback I got: "Content validation would be easier with an embedded SSML model, but not insurmountable via JSON path. Similar for epub generation. Summary: could go either way, but as noted, with a (historical) preference for not mixing JSON into an XML workflow."

Team reports some feedback about not including JASON in the XML.

Agenda Review & Announcements

Paul: Reviewed agenda.

Janina: We need ETS's vote on the APA Charter.

Mark: It is ready to go.

CfC Update and Feedback

Janina: CFC is open through midnight tonight (Boston time). Only messages of support.

Paul: Feedback that came in late, specifically from Janina, issue with receiving email

Janina: Fine to deal with feedback later. Summary, concern that the examples should appear at the end and not at top. Also need clean comparison of approaches at a high level. Can do this in a subsequent draft.

Janina: Examples at end after normative pieces.

Paul: This is not the final form. We will have the opportunity to make updates.

Team will ensure that feedback comments are on the list.

Janina: One comment went to the APA admin list.

Marketing and Socializing FPWD

Paul: There were discussions about upcoming conferences.

Mark: Submitted to IMS Learning Impact conference in October

Mark: ATIA should be high on our list.

JF: Put together a synopsis and outline so that we are ready to respond to calls for submissions for conferences.
