• issue tracking and erratum provision for the EPUB specifications;

Specific work plans for revision developments shall be approved by the IDPF Board.

As of July 8, 2015, the leadership of the EPUB Working Group consists of the below individuals.

• Markus Gylling, IDPF (co-chair)
• Tzviya Siegman, Wiley (co-chair)
• Garth Conboy, Google (co-vice chair)
• Brady Duga, Google (co-vice chair)

Changes to the leadership shall be approved by the IDPF board, and shall be reflected in this document.

Communication and Participation

Working Group deliverables will be made available to all IDPF Members via the IDPF website and relevant mailing lists. Working Group Chairs will be available to Board for updates on the progress of the Working Group. All IDPF members will be encouraged to participate in the Working Group, subject to ability to meet the time commitments required, and additional Invited Experts may be selected by the Working Group Chairs. As EPUB standardization is of interest to the community-at-large, beyond IDPF Members, the Working Group is encouraged to publicly communicate working documents and draft specifications wherever appropriate.

Intellectual Property and IDPF Corporate Documents

All work in the Working Group will be in compliance with the IDPF membership agreement, intellectual property policy, anti-trust documents, policies and procedures and bylaws of the IDPF. The goal is to maintain the open and patent unencumbered status of EPUB.
