I will note that the request for change proposals went out 95 days ago[2], not yesterday. It is important that everybody in the entire working group gets an opportunity to evaluate proposals and has enough time to produce alternate or counter proposals should they feel that such is necessary. > For my part I had relatively few objectives in this activity and was > very pleased to see the requirements that Netflix has accepted in > multiple proposals and then in the a11y group agreement and as a result > I did not create a Change Proposal of my own.

I encourage you to participate in one or more of the following bugs: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12544 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12545 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12546 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12547 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12544 If any of those bugs are not resolved to your satisfaction, there will again be an opportunity to produce a change proposal. Alternately, a change proposal is all that is required in order to cause issue 152 to be reopened. Either way, this will be resolved in time for HTML5. > I admit to being new to this process, but it seems strange that the > proposal people worked so hard to agree, and that was agreed by everyone > interested enough to attend the a11y group meetings, is apparently now > not being considered as the resolution of this issue. What you refer to as a proposal did not contain one or more of the following: rationale, a set of edit instructions specific enough that they can be applied without ambiguity, or impact. > ...Mark > > [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Apr/0517.html > >>> Cheers, >>> Silvia. >> >> - Sam Ruby [2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Jan/0198.html
