            <p>
              Launched in February 2011, the Web and TV Interest Group is to provide a forum for Web and TV technical
              discussions, to review existing work, as well as the relationship
              between services on the Web and TV services, and to identify
              requirements and potential solutions to ensure that the Web will
              function well with TV.

              list and archive usage guidelines</a> and send an email with a subject

            that is used for administrative purposes (f2f meeting planning,
            telephone conference agenda, etc.) and may be used for sharing
            sensitive information if needed.
            </p>

            <p>
              Typically, participation in Face-to-face meetings and telephone
