WORKGROUPS
Under Formation
The Teleport Experience Network is still under formation. The initial set of workgroups has not yet been decided; see the initial proposal below.
Join the organization to have your say.
Workgroup
APPLICATION
The Application Workgroup decides which applications/ use cases to address, and defines the requirements for each one.
For example, the Application Workgroup might define that for the "TEXP.net Board Meeting" application, the provider must ensure
Excellent Audio Quality
Participant Authentication
Chairman, Participant, Observer and Notetaker roles
Fair Turn-taking Speech Access
Crowd Audio (for humming, applause, etc)
Anonymous Voting
The exact meaning of these terms are defined by the TEXP.net Interaction and Technology Workgroups.
TEXP.net does not implement or provide any of these services. It only defines what a participant or buyer have the right to expect when some provider offers a "TEXP.net Board Meeting" service or app.
Other applications that the Application Workgroup might define could be
TEXP.net Classroom, level 1-4
TEXP.net Rock Concert
TEXP.net Trade Show, level 1-3
TEXP.net Museum Tour

Workgroup
INTERACTION
The interaction workgroup defines the kinds of social interactions that are in the toolbox when the Applications Workgroup defines the requirements.
For example, the Interactions Workgroup might define exactly what is meant by Fair Turn-taking Speech Access, and how participants would interact with this feature.
Other topics of interest to the Interactions Workgroup would be
Assignment of Roles to participants
Role-dependent Function Access
Different kinds of Mic and Camera and Content sharing modes
Participant Monitor so each participant can understand what others can see and hear without asking
It is likely that this workgroup will need to be further subdivided into multiple subgroups at some later point. Review the workgroup charters here.
Workgroup
TECHNOLOGY
The Technology Workgroup defines the APIs and technologies that are in the toolbox when the Applications Workgroup defines their use cases.
For example, what are the technical requirements for Excellent Audio Quality in terms of
Background Noise Removal
Echo-cancellation
Network Throughput Adaptability
Encryption
Topics of interest to the Technology Workgroup are all kinds of Audio, Video, 3D, Virtual and Augmented Reality modes, Network Protocols and APIs, Security, Access Control, etc.
It is likely that this workgroup will need to be further subdivided into multiple subgroups at some later point. Review the workgroup charters here.
STEERING

Workgroup
The steering committee decides which workgroups to form or close, their charters and the procedures and bylaws of the organization as a whole.
