wendyreid: what we want to focus on for this session

14:13:26 [koalie]

How would you expect the AB to play their role in W3C community?

14:13:26 [koalie]

Is there anything in the AB's role that should be changed?

14:13:26 [koalie]

What are the unique values the AB can have for the community?

14:13:26 [koalie]

What tasks would you like the AB to take up, if AB has not yet?

14:13:26 [koalie]

How would you expect the AB to collaborate with other elected W3C groups, such as TAG and the Board?

14:13:29 [koalie]

Any other suggestions for the AB role/work scope?

alan_stearns: thanks for the improved communications I've seen about the AB deliberations

14:16:29 [koalie]

... posting what you're going to talk about and the summary

14:16:34 [koalie]

... this is really helpful

14:17:03 [koalie]

... I wonder if some of the things you have discussed and wondered what the AC things, if there should be more specific things stirredon the ac list

14:17:18 [koalie]

... of if you are trying to push discussion on GH instead of the mailing list

14:17:28 [koalie]

wendyreid: what we want is more feedback, more input

14:17:34 [koalie]

... we can only make recommendations,

14:17:43 [koalie]

... we can make far better ones when we know where people are at

+100%

14:17:57 [koalie]

wendyreid: we can't be speaking for everyone

14:18:03 [koalie]

14:18:26 [AvneeshSingh]

14:18:54 [koalie]

14:24:24 [caribou]

caribou has joined #ABpurpose

14:24:38 [koalie]

... if there are edge cases regarding 3Is, the AB might be a good body to adjudicate

14:24:41 [koalie]

14:24:50 [wendyreid]

ack wendyreid

14:24:50 [Zakim]

wendyreid, you wanted to try and answer Nigel

14:25:01 [koalie]

... I'm curious how the things get on the list of things for the AB to consider

14:25:11 [koalie]

wendyreid: when we have the priorities discussion

14:25:20 [koalie]

... it's been talking about problems that we see

14:25:30 [koalie]

... problems that affect us

14:25:39 [koalie]

... as some of us are in groups, are chairs

14:25:52 [koalie]

... the "squishy" bits of the technical work

14:26:02 [koalie]

... agree, it should not go to the TAG

14:26:07 [koalie]

... like the 3Is

14:26:23 [koalie]

... that has tech implications but also community and process, so that's where we come in to help

14:26:30 [koalie]

... our priorities come from that

14:26:46 [angel]

q+

14:27:04 [koalie]

... hence focus in the last year on "working with the TAG"

14:27:16 [wendyreid]

ack fantasai

14:27:47 [koalie]

fantasai: AB Members come to the AB with an idea or project they want to work on, or issues they want to resolve

14:27:59 [koalie]

... another way is when the Team brings topics they want AB advice on

14:28:10 [koalie]

14:30:14 [koalie]

... asking what the hoped the AB might work on

14:30:22 [koalie]

... including relevance of W3C and the technical future

14:30:25 [nigel]

q+ to come back to fantasai - is the AB there to represent AC to the Team, or to advise the wider community?

14:30:29 [koalie]

... regarding the team asking advice

14:30:43 [koalie]

... we've had great experience and fruitful discussions

14:30:56 [koalie]

... e.g., Branding TF, meetings, external communications

14:31:04 [koalie]

... the Team does ask the AB

14:31:12 [koalie]

... we work to help address that

14:31:46 [koalie]

angel: I want to continue the discussion but before that, if we look at the @@ of the AB

14:31:54 [koalie]

... there are pieces of work the AB manages

14:31:58 [koalie]

... e.g., process document

14:32:08 [koalie]

... it's done collaboratively through CGs

14:32:12 [fantasai]

s/@@/Process description/

14:32:25 [koalie]

... in a way, these CGs are working like a sub-committee of the AB with broader participation

... if we could form a stable mechanism

14:32:40 [song]

song has joined #abpurpose

14:32:41 [koalie]

... we could get formalised relationships

14:32:44 [koalie]

... it would be great

14:32:48 [koalie]

... also for the technical part

14:32:59 [koalie]

... I recently had a conversation with someone from another std org

14:33:06 [koalie]

... they decided to dive all in in AI area

14:33:15 [koalie]

... their membership formed a technical advisory group

14:33:23 [koalie]

... to come up with technical roadmaps

14:33:33 [koalie]

... I don't thing W3C has that

14:33:43 [fantasai]

s/... also for the/angel: also for the/

14:33:52 [koalie]

... I wonder, and it doesn't have to be the AB alone

14:33:59 [michaelchampion]

michaelchampion has joined #ABpurpose

14:34:04 [koalie]

... but how can the W3C TEam look at the emerging tech?

14:34:10 [wendyreid]

ack nigel

14:34:10 [Zakim]

nigel, you wanted to come back to fantasai - is the AB there to represent AC to the Team, or to advise the wider community?

14:34:29 [amy]

q+ to mention representing AC to Team also

14:34:30 [koalie]

nigel: the AB seems to be doing multiple things

14:34:41 [koalie]

... communication roles with different parties

14:34:55 [wendyreid]

q+

14:34:55 [koalie]

... I noticed the AB seems to be treated as an representative groups from the AC

14:35:11 [koalie]

... including to the Team

14:35:27 [koalie]

... one of the general issue with the AC is it's hard to engage with the AC

14:35:30 [astearns]

forming an advisory group on a particular technical topic is a good idea, but probably separate from our current AB. We’d want to form a group on a particular topic to select experts in that topic

14:35:36 [koalie]

... and answers are not straightforward

14:35:43 [koalie]

... that's one role I see for the AB

14:35:54 [koalie]

... also a wider role to guide on things of interest

14:36:02 [koalie]

... I'm not clear how that part works

14:36:13 [koalie]

... who is the AB for is a useful question

14:36:18 [amy]

qq+

14:36:27 [koalie]

... efforts to bridge the community and the Team, from the questions on the slide

14:36:43 [koalie]

... maybe it needs to be clearer on what to expect

14:36:43 [wendyreid]

ack amy

14:36:43 [Zakim]

amy, you wanted to react to nigel

14:37:02 [angel]

+1 to astearns about separate from our current AB, the AB fan faciliate the forming of such tech advisory group

14:37:09 [koalie]

fantasai: we think of the AB as an executive committee of the AC

14:37:18 [koalie]

... but that's not the only thing we do

14:37:30 [koalie]

... the AB advocates for the effectiveness of W3C as an org

14:37:36 [koalie]

... it's what ties all the things that we do

14:37:37 [cwilso]

+1 Elika. :)

14:37:55 [koalie]

fantasai: through Process, code, guidelines, etc.

14:38:11 [koalie]

s/through/through advising Team, developing/

14:38:48 [koalie]

nigel: if you're the executive committee of the AC, I think this is defined

14:38:58 [koalie]

... the mechanism for consulting back with the AC is very important

14:39:04 [koalie]

... otherwise you can't represent them

14:39:21 [koalie]

fantasai: there is room for improvement

14:39:28 [koalie]

... but we have conversations

14:39:36 [koalie]

... in spaces with the AC can participate

14:39:43 [koalie]

... lot of porosity

14:39:55 [koalie]

... summarising meetings to the AC, helps do that at a higher level

14:40:03 [koalie]

... we could make better use of surveys

14:40:11 [koalie]

... we have an election cycle every year

14:40:15 [koalie]

... it's somewhat frequent

14:40:26 [wendyreid]

ack amy

14:40:26 [Zakim]

amy, you wanted to mention representing AC to Team also

14:40:27 [amy]

I don't quite agree with the characterization that the AB's role is to "bridge W3C community and the Team". Team and AC are very connected. It would be negative if the AB saw itself as in between AC and Team.

14:40:33 [koalie]

... another dynamic is election of individuals for a specific project

14:40:40 [wendyreid]

ack fantasai

14:41:20 [amy]

I'm hearing "represent" AC but to me, this seems unclear. The role in the Process is "The Advisory Board also serves the Members by tracking issues raised between Advisory Committee meetings, soliciting Member comments on such issues, and proposing actions to resolve these issues."

14:41:22 [fantasai]

s/for a specific project/by AC memers, as Alan mentioned, to do the work so they don't have to/

14:41:29 [koalie]

Amy: In addition I heard "represent"

14:41:33 [koalie]

... it seems unclear

14:41:48 [koalie]

... process says "serve the members"

14:41:55 [koalie]

... track things, get comments, etc.

14:42:05 [koalie]

... some of the way I hear some of these is slightly off center

14:42:17 [koalie]

... team and AC are quite connected already

14:42:20 [wendyreid]

ack wendyreid

14:42:23 [koalie]

s/a lot of different things/a lot of different things, but generally fits under that mission. By contrast, TAG's mission is to advocate for integrity of the technical architecture of the Web./

14:43:09 [koalie]

... but things changed and our roles have changed

14:43:49 [koalie]

... I don't see ourselves as an executive committy of the AC

14:43:54 [koalie]

... I wasn't an AC rep

14:43:57 [koalie]

... I'm a chair

14:44:05 [koalie]

... our connection to the AC is incredibly important

14:44:27 [koalie]

... but I think our proper role is to represent the community at large

14:44:30 [fantasai]

+1 to representing community at large, not just AC

14:44:50 [koalie]

... by being good stewards of the community we get the support of the AC who elect us

14:44:58 [koalie]

... I don't see us as arbiter of the AC

14:45:08 [amy]

the role of the Team is "The Team provides technical leadership about Web technologies, organizes and manages W3C activities to reach goals within practical constraints (such as resources available), and communicates with the Members and the public about the Web and W3C technologies." https://www.w3.org/policies/process/#Team

14:45:09 [koalie]

... it's a greatly integrated ecosystemm with interdependencies

14:45:19 [koalie]

... we have so much integration with the Team

14:46:27 [amy]

thank you Alan, i hear you on this and i think it should be improved!

AvneeshSingh: role of the AB as a kind of council for the TEam and for the BoD also

14:52:40 [koalie]

... a council of people with various skill sets

14:52:54 [koalie]

... because when decisions need to be made, many perspectives need to considered

wendyreid: I like it

14:57:12 [koalie]

... thanks, great conversation

14:57:51 [koalie]

fantasai: we should ask community engagement on the list of things as we frequently advise
