Introduction of group members.

<Tzviya Siegman> https://www.w3.org/Consortium/cepc/

Wendy Reid: remembering rules.

EPUB3 in ISO

Tzviya Siegman: first item in the agenda is about ISO for EPUB 3.3.

Wendy Reid: we had previous discussions. It looks like we should better get first EU recognition, that would let us some freedom before ISO.

Wendy Reid: ISO is using actually epub 3.0.1.

Ivan Herman: i presume we have to do nothing wich is confortable and come back to this issue in half a year when we know where the EU commission goes.

Cristina Mussinelli: we had a meeting with the comission 2 days ago. They confirmed it would be better to have the tec spec in EU before ISO. So yes if possible it is better to wait next year.

Cristina Mussinelli: are we interested in epub for archive? it looks like there is a missunderstanding.

Ivan Herman: there is an interest, we should look at the subject of epub archive.

Tzviya Siegman: we could do that, there is room for collaboration with librarian and archive world.

Ivan Herman: there are examples at w3c of WG working with groups out of W3C.

<Avneesh Singh> Wendy Reid: q+

Wendy Reid: there will be very few changes, maybe mainly links to ressources outside epub. Our position right now is wait and see.

Avneesh Singh: an example is the work on metadata, we work on the a11y tf but refer to metadata standardizers outside of w3c.

Errata discussion

https://github.com/w3c/pm-wg/wiki/Extract-of-the-W3C-Process-Document,-relevant-to-this-WG's-work

https://github.com/w3c/epub-specs/issues?q=is:issue+is:open+label:ErratumRaised

Ivan Herman: i collected part of the process documents in one place. we can adress problems with markup and little changes (class 1 & 2). class 3 (clarifications) can also be adressed, but more complex. class 4 (adding features to the spec) are out of scope for us (for epub spec)... we have to take care of doing proper errata management.

https://github.com/w3c/epub-specs/issues?q=is:issue+is:open+label:Status-Deferred

Ivan Herman: i have defined labels on the issu tracker for class 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Ivan Herman: we have issues labeled as deferred, we may define what to do with those. This is the kind of things we should do as a maintenance group...
… we have more flexibility with notes.

Wendy Reid: we have a lot of notes.

Wendy Reid: we'll work closely with CG and BG, they are the places for incubation, we do the work of refining once it is incubated.

Ivan Herman: what we have to decide is how we proceed. For example, the 5 ErratumRaised issues, we should do somethings between calls.

Wendy Reid: yes, as we meet only monthly we should do most of the work on github

TPAC

Avneesh Singh: our a11y tf work might come with edition proposals in 2 to 3 months.

<Wendy Reid> https://www.w3.org/2023/09/TPAC/Overview.html

Wendy Reid: we are planning meeting at TPAC but we don't have finished an agenda yet. It will be hybrid. We won't to do incubation stuff, join meeting with others w3c groups.

Tzviya Siegman: we hope a draft agenda before august.
