As you write your paper, keep the following goals in mind:
- Work through a recommendation or set of related recommendations to see how a standard is written.
- Pay attention to who the authors are and what organizations they represent -- why are those organizations involved
- Look at the broader activity area.
How does this recommendation relate to the others in teh activity?
What more general conccerns do people have?
- What is the purpose of the standard? Is it being achieved? What are the objections people have. What
does a google search on the topic reveal?
- What is the status of the standard? Has it been replaced? What did it replace?
After you have completed your review, write up an executive summary of the effort -- about 5 pages. It should help
a friend or coworked understand what the w3c is doing in this area -- i.e. it should be understandable to the average person.
Write up a 5 slide powerpoint presentation hitting the high points.
