I think it is completely inappropriate for the chairs to make decisions on behalf of this group based on secret discussions with individual parties. If objections are made in secret, those who disagree have no opportunity to rebut them. Such secret discussions certainly violate the spirit of the charter > * "Every technical report published as part of the technical report > development process is edited by one or more editors appointed by a > Working Group Chair." > http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#DocumentsGeneral Does this mean that the chairs plan to decide on the editor(s) themselves, rather than letting the group decide?
