intent to start an open standards team

[MylesBorins]

Branching from #577

I think it is important for us to have consensus and co-ordination around our standards efforts.

I'd like to create a new repo that we can use to centralize the effort, I'd also like to nominate a few folks that I think would enjoy participating. Anyone else that we should include?

I'm interested

[mcollina]

I'm interested.

[bmeck]

I'd be interested, but have also raised my concerns in the past about independence as well as coordination.

[BridgeAR]

I am also very interested.

[benjamingr]

I'd love to observe initially - in case that requires asking :)

[jasnell]

I'm in

@bmeck as far as I'm concerned individuals who want to attend tc39 representing their company can and should continue to do so. This group should likely work on co-ordination and send 1 - 2 individuals per meeting to represent the interests of the project

[bmeck]

@MylesBorins that seems fine, but I'm more concerned with WHATWG where there isn't as clear a placement for a shared voice and my continued dealing with them.

[MylesBorins]

@bmeck seems like a great first agenda item 😄

[mhdawson]

@rubys is this something you'd be interested in participating in?

[dshaw]

Thanks, @MylesBorins.

+1 for WhatWG

I’d love to see W3C under this perview, so in addition to the specific agenda item of Node.js supporting Bradley’s effort in WhatWG, we could define scope around what bodies we want to engage with through this effort.
