14:51:17 <ddahl> issue 70
14:52:26 <ddahl> dirk: agent group has done a nice comparison of protocols
14:53:11 <ddahl> ...this would be good for the OVON group to see https://w3c-cg.github.io/ai-agent-protocol/
14:55:27 <ddahl> ...they have overlap with the web agent group
14:57:39 <ddahl> debbie: we should read these and decide if there is useful information
14:58:15 <ddahl> https://w3c-cg.github.io/webagents/TaskForces/Interoperability/Reports/report-interoperability.html
14:59:23 <ddahl> debbie: these are not focused on conversational agents

15:01:51 <ddahl> present+ kaz
15:02:26 <ddahl> kaz: what is the difference between our workshop and AI agent workshop
15:02:54 <ddahl> ...we will be focusing on voice and multimodal
15:04:06 <ddahl> ...we want to improve interoperability
15:04:18 <kaz> [[
15:04:19 <kaz> Thanks to the advancement of HTML5 and related Web technologies, Web applications with speech capability are getting more and more popular for ease of user interaction and richer user experience, such as Apple's SIRI, Google's Voice Assistant, and Amazon's Alexa.
15:04:20 <kaz> ]]
15:08:08 <ddahl> even simpler applications with speech capability are getting more and more popular for ease of user interaction and richer user experience,
15:11:52 <ddahl> kaz: if we update the sentences in the background the proposal could be acceptable.
15:12:18 <ddahl> ...will bring the proposal to the strategy team next Tuesday
15:15:11 <kaz> -> https://github.com/w3c/smartagents-workshop/ workshop repo
15:15:19 <ddahl> kaz: could dirk update the original github issue on the Smart Agents workshop?
15:16:27 <ddahl> debbie: did we talk about changing the name to Voice Agents?
15:16:43 <ddahl> kaz: or Smart Voice Agents
15:17:23 <ddahl> debbie: that would be fine with me
15:19:07 <ddahl> kaz: should be held before TPAC (November), so how about September?
15:19:38 <ddahl> kaz: twenty or thirty people would be fine
15:20:12 <ddahl> kaz: twenty speakers and some more audience
15:22:04 <ddahl> dirk: need approval from the strategy team, then we have to form program committee and get position papers
15:22:25 <ddahl> debbie: position statement could be very lightweight
