regrets, voting

I think I'm not going to be able to make the HTML working
group phone conference 7/30 morning -- I'm at the IETF
meeting and the IRI/IDN "bar bof" is scheduled in such
a way that I can't both be on the HTML working group
phone call and also chair the IRI discussion. 

I think my concerns and the nature of my objection to
publication of a new working draft of the current 
variation have been misrepresented, and I would
ask that if there is going be a discussion it be
scheduled for next week when I can defend myself.

On the other hand, this is a process and not a substantive
issue, and I don't think consensus is required,
whether "lazy" or explicit.

"A group may also vote to make a process decision...."

I think I've made my point, and I'm willing to work
in some other way to address the difficulties I see 
with applying ordinary W3C process mechanisms to the 
unprecedented management of the HTML working group.
