The following answers have been successfully submitted to 'Survey of W3C Community and Business Groups' (public) for Deborah Dahl. --------------------------------- Overall Experience ---- Please rate your overall experience according to the following aspects: * Your overall experience with Community Groups and Business Groups.: [ 2 ++ ] * Have you found the Community Groups and Business Groups documentation adequate (FAQ, policy summaries, etc.)?: [ 5 +++++ (highest) ] Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): --------------------------------- Work Flow ---- Questions 4 through 9 focus on work flow. --------------------------------- Discovery ---- Did you find it easy to discover groups of interest to you? * (x) Yes * ( ) No If not, why? (or any other comments): --------------------------------- Group Type Comparison ---- If you have experience in both Working Group and Community or Business Group, what advantages do you see for Working Groups? for Community or Business Groups? Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): --------------------------------- Decision-making ---- How is your Community or Business Group organized to make decisions? Have you reached decisions on challenging problems? We'd love to hear your successes or obstacles you've faced. Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): In the group I was in, the Chair, spec Editor and 1/3 of the group's members were from one company. Decision-making all leaned in the direction of that company and was very unbalanced. The process of assigning a Chair to the CG where the first person who's interested in being the Chair can shut everyone out did not work well in this group because we had other people interested in being co-Chairs who couldn't do that. Maybe the first 2 or 3 people who want to chair could volunteer and there should be no more than one co-Chair per company. --------------------------------- Ensuring Progress ---- Are you satisfied with how the Community or Business Group makes progress? What would enable you to make better progress? Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): --------------------------------- Transition to Working Group ---- Do you expect to advance Community or Business Group deliverables to a W3C Working Group?
