I don't know what is in Ian's job description, but it is true he has operated in fashion for as long as I have been a member of the HTML WG. It has cause many prolonged process discussions. Sam talked about the Commit then Review (CTR) [3] process that the working group seems to have been operating under. Then last fall the Chairs added the decision policy [4] to help make decisions on the Review of the spec. Now that we have used the policy for one decision, it certainly seems like a good time for the Chairs to clarify the items Larry asked about [5]. Shelley, I would encourage you to also document what you see as problem areas with the policy so the Chairs can examine and address them properly.
