Draft: https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/AB/raw-file/68f2be460152/cover.html Title: W3C Process Document ---- Issue 1. Summary: In the introduction, the sentence "When there is enough interest in a topic (e.g., after a successful Workshop and/or discussion on anAdvisory Committee mailing list ), the Director announces thedevelopment of a proposal for one or more new or Interest Group orWorking Group charter , depending on the breadth of the topic of interest." The link on "new" (which is to Activities) should be removed, the following "or" removed and a link for "Interest Group" be created.

Summary: In Section 2.2 The Team. "assessing consensus within W3C for architectural choices, publication of technical reports, and new activities;" It used to be "Activities", but that's a place where making it lower case doesn't work. Probably should be "Groups" rather than "activities".

Summary: There is concern about the abuse of Charter Extensions in Section 6.2.5. Wayne is asking for a 3 month limit on extensions and that the extended charter be updated to reflect the new termination date. The AB has discussed a similar, but different set of changes (See the response below) to deal with abuse. No Resolution has been reached.

Summary: In Section 8, Wayne identified an edge case that that limits appeals when the Director rejects something even though there is no dissent in the review of that thing. He also noted that the AC had agreed that the decision to change a document licenses should be appealable, but neither the right to make that decision nor the appeal are in the Process Document. These points opened a re-examination of Appeals in the Process. A number of additional anomolies were noted in the discussion From: Wayne Carr Comment: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-w3process/2015Mar/0023.html See also: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-w3process/2015Mar/0070.html Response: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-w3process/2015Mar/0060.html Closed: Postponed till Process 2016. Since the issues delt with cases that have not occured as yet, delay seemed to be OK in this case. Verified: [url] Resolved: To much needed to be done to fix the issue in time for Process 2015. ---- Issue 8. Summary: 2.5.3 now says that an AB or TAG seat is vacated when "the Chair asks the participant to resign¡±, without any context or limitation. That seems like an unusual amount of power for the Chair to have at their disposal.

Summary: In Section 3.4, it says "A group charter should include formal voting procedures (e.g., quorum or threshold requirements) for making decisions about substantive issues.¡± but 6.2.6 says "A charter may include additional voting procedures, but those procedures must not conflict with the voting requirements of the Process Document.¡± These are (mildly) in conflict; I¡¯d suggest changing the ¡°may¡± in 6.2.6 to a ¡°should."

Summary: Yandex cannot live with the loosening of the constraint on TAG membership, which we think is inappropriate given the way the TAG is currently constituted.

Summary: The removal of Last Call in Process 2014 makes it more difficult for Horizontal Working groups, such as Internationalization, to find document that need to be review prior to becoming Candidate Recommendations. It was suggested that Horizontal review be specifically called out in the definition of Wide Review and in the Requirements for Chartering a Group.
