The Process indicates the following: [[ If there are any substantive changes made to a Candidate Recommendation other than to remove features explicitly identified as "at risk", the Working Group must obtain the Director's approval to publish a revision of a Candidate Recommendation. This is because substantive changes will generally require a new Exclusion Opportunity per section 4 of the W3C Patent Policy [PUB33]. Note that approval is expected to be fairly simple compared to getting approval for a transition from Working Draft to Candidate Recommendation. ]] http://www.w3.org/2015/Process-20150901/#revised-cr My understanding is that the W3C Process allows the publication of a revised candidate recommendation *without* Director's approval if there are *no substantive changes*. It would also mean that no call for exclusions are issued as well. Is that a correct understanding? Philippe
