For those that don't know, W3C requires 5 people willing to work on a topic to start a "Community Group". The proposed group would be hosted by W3C, but anyone can join -- you do need a W3C Account. https://www.w3.org/accounts/request There is some amount of verification I suppose. (*Email (To reduce processing delays please enter your corporate email address, you may modify it later)) I chose proposing a W3C group over another mailing list because I thought it fit the purpose and they offer some infrastructure. (Think of it as a lighter-weight way of having a BOF?) This is a call for volunteers: I'm hoping some people might be willing to spend some of the energy and concern they have (to chatter about a topic on the IETF discussion list), and direct it toward actually helping other people to use the Internet to help solve a societal problem. Along the way, it might tell us something about additional standards work we might need, when deploying technology “in anger”. -- LarryMasinter.net From: Spencer Dawkins at IETF <spencerdawkins.ietf@xxxxxxxxx> For what it's worth, On Tue, Mar 10, 2020 at 12:13 PM Larry Masinter <LMM@xxxxxxx> wrote:
That's a really interesting idea, and Larry also points out that it's not clear that any of the organizations in his list of communities can do this without help from at least some of the others. This was the one thing I wish we'd done differently after IETF 95/Zika - we started Manycouches thinking about an in-person meeting with emergency cancellations by many participants, like the one we'd just dodged, but preplanned entirely-virtual meetings also crept into scope, and what we ended up with for IETF 107 was an emergency entirely-virtual meeting - the worst of all combinations. I hope we continue planning for all of these, but not at the same time, with the same people, in the same forum. The skill sets required overlap, but they aren't the same. IMO, of course. Spencer
