But Slide 3 immediately diverts into improving the Rec Track, i.e. Everblue. Overall, I think this slide deck does not present simple Living Standards well or as a reasonable direction and choice. Instead it presents Improved Rec. Track as the primary effort and Evergreen as some sort of half-thought-out dead alternative. Our intent was to keep EG in play if we didn't satisfy the needs of the WGs who wanted a more Living Standards approach. In the master versions of the slides (not reflected yet on the W3C site), I updated the motivations for the alternate track to make it more apparent: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1jKiPIrbIH6RdJE15nYWA-xr1DDVuYAeurpfhu6Dug-c/edit#slide=id.g60769e0fa9_3_0 > I thought we had agreed to separate Registries as a separate, simpler, case, and we’re presenting them separately. Yes, I think the “continuous review” model used by Living Standards (notifications on issues and changes, and the ability to comment) is the right model also for Registries, but even then, Registries are simpler — being atomic, it’s much easier to back out a specific change. So many of the mentions of Registries should be in the Registries report. I meant to sync up with you on that. Following our conversation, I removed the slides mentioning Registries, to keep it separate and avoiding confusing the AC. > The Goals slide is generally applicable. I’d suggest it go much earlier. I didn't move it yet. Still mulling this one over. > The Design Intentions does not say what the AB has repeatedly said: that a simple Living Standards process and improving the Rec. Track are not in opposition, and we could do either or both. I added: [[ Fixing the W3C Recommendation track while experimenting with a simple continuous process are not in opposition ]] > The Proposal Part is only a proposal for Rec. Track improvements, not for simple Living Standards. Clarified. > I still don’t understand why getting a Contribution License from WG members fixes anything in the W3C context, where WG members grant a full-spec. license. This was inherited from the Evergreen patent policy, which also has contribution license. I left it as-is for now in the presentation but we should come back to it obviously later. > Then we get to the “Additional alternate track?” slides, which says “We are not supporting”. I have no idea who “we” is. It also implies it’s dead (“originally tried”). This slide was updated to better reflect the intent.
