[wg-charter] Coordination with W3C Groups and External Organizations

[ashimura]

As we discussed today (June 22) during the IG call, we should add related W3C Groups and External Organizations to the draft WG Charter. The lists in the IG Charter should be a good starting point.

Should we pick a subset of high relation to stay focused?
We made quite a point out of the IG dealing with most relations and exploring...

If so, my initial guess would be:

• Device and Sensors Working Group
• Efficient XML Interchange Working Group
• Spatial Data on the Web Working Group
• Web and Automotive Business & Working Groups

I am missing a WG that deals with APIs---where is Tobie Langel active, since he made good comments for the Scripting API? It would also be good to have a WG here that deals with the definition of Web browser APIs.

For the external groups, I am not sure how to deal with the fact that there are some cooperations already in place where we should cross-check the specifications and that there might be more coming up. Do we label this as initial? I would also expect something concrete and not just a "yes we talked"...

• IETF Authentication and Authorization for Constrained Environments (ace) Working Group (security model)
• IETF Core Working Group (protocol bindings)
• OneM2M (because of semantic models)
• OPC Foundation (letter of intent)
• Open Connectivity Foundation (joint activities on interfaces and descriptions)

BTW: What about alphabetical order in general (i.e., also in the IG re-charter) to avoid implicit prioritization?

As you can see there are multiple groups dealing with APIs. An example is the Device and Sensors WG

Reopen this issue for additional groups to be added.
