Hi all,
Last week the Push API editors (AT&T, Telefónica) and other interested
parties (Mozilla, Google) met to progress this specification.
Just a gentle reminder that if you are having a meeting there needs to be
an announcement of it. I don't want to stop people doing work - obviously,
we encourage that happening and applaud members who take initiative to get
things done.
But there is a process requirement, that you and your employer agreed to
when joining the group. It isn't just a quid pro quo for the rest of us
agreeing to go through a PAG if necessary. It is also based on an
important legal requirement that standards be developed according to a
fair process, to avoid being construed as engaging in anti-competitive or
cartel behaviour.
And of course it is good manners.
As a quick reminder, the general notice times required are 1 week for a
"distributed" telephone meeting (unless it is a regularly scheduled
meeting) and 8 weeks for a physical meeting.
If you want to organise a meeting for a particular topic the chairs and
staff contacts will be very happy to help, both to make sure we meet the
process requirements and with any necessary logistics. The notice period
is the only one likely to have any real impact, and there is a way to
approve shorter notice if it is really necessary.
But I would ask people who want to organise a get-together that they
provide the notice required by the Process, to ensure that "interested
parties" in the working group have a fair opportunity to attend.
cheers
Chaals
