Hook into TAG process #5

Closed jasonanovak closed 5 years ago

jasonanovak commented 6 years ago

To get engaged in privacy reviews sooner than CR, we should hook into the TAG process for reviews.

Per TPAC f2f, over to @tjwhalen

I spoke with @swickr (W3C's Architecture and Technology lead) re: whether other horizontal areas (i18n, a11y) would also be interested in hooking in at this (= blink intents or similar) stage. He's more concerned that reviews are not happening reliably during the normal standards process, and he wants to focus his efforts there.

Accordingly, it sounds like PING is on its own for now with respect to pre-CR reviews. Tagging @swickr in case I've misunderstood his response.

tagging @michael-n-cooper in case he's interested.

WICG ["why-see-gee"]: -- Chris W and I spoke January 8th; co-chair Yoav now works at Google also but was not available for our chat; the third chair is Marcos Caceros@Mozilla -- Chris explained a bunch about their activities and processes, and we focused on the places where PING might best hook in. -- Takeaways were mainly that PING might benefit from being alerted by the WICG chairs when:

Chris seemed happy to collaborate in this task, but this would require us to be in better sync with those chairs, since we are dependent on their eyes and ears to flag things of interest. This has the advantage, though, of cutting through the noise a great deal, since there is a lot of stuff flying through WICG at various levels of maturity. Just having a quick email to chairs would be enough, probably? Happy to take suggestions on lightweight communication processes.

TAG review Chris W also said I should talk to Alex Russell re: TAG and also blink-intent, so I did that Jan 9. Alex R is leaving the TAG and Alice Boxhall is joining - she is also at Google so he invited her to join our chat.

-- takeways:

Re: blink-intent -- I am following the bot on Twitter, had a look at the stream. It seems fine and not that "noisy" but given what Alex said, it might be redundant to pay close attention to if we are hooked into TAG process which will capture this anyhow. (Note that the bot tweets "when browser makers announce their intent to ship, change or remove features" so it's not all new stuff.)
