The following answers have been successfully submitted to 'Survey of W3C Community and Business Groups' (public) for Renato Iannella. --------------------------------- Overall Experience ---- Please rate your overall experience according to the following aspects: * Your overall experience with Community Groups and Business Groups.: [ 5 +++++ (highest) ] * Have you found the Community Groups and Business Groups documentation adequate (FAQ, policy summaries, etc.)?: [ 4 ++++ ] Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): --------------------------------- Work Flow ---- Questions 4 through 9 focus on work flow. --------------------------------- Discovery ---- Did you find it easy to discover groups of interest to you? * (x) Yes * ( ) No If not, why? (or any other comments): --------------------------------- Group Type Comparison ---- If you have experience in both Working Group and Community or Business Group, what advantages do you see for Working Groups? for Community or Business Groups? Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): WGs have a more rigorous deliverable schedule and w3c member-level requirements. CGs can work on community-level requirements and timelines. --------------------------------- Decision-making ---- How is your Community or Business Group organized to make decisions? Have you reached decisions on challenging problems? We'd love to hear your successes or obstacles you've faced. Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): The group members decide, and then vote on the final specs --------------------------------- Ensuring Progress ---- Are you satisfied with how the Community or Business Group makes progress? What would enable you to make better progress? Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): Each CG seems to be responsible for their own progress (which is one of the advantages of the CG program) --------------------------------- Transition to Working Group ---- Do you expect to advance Community or Business Group deliverables to a W3C Working Group? Please use the comment field for any information about the transition (time frame, perceived obstacles or challenges). * ( ) Yes * ( ) No * (x) In discussion but not decided * ( ) No idea Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): We believe it would be useful for the web to have a policy language. But this has always been a contentious issue in the past. --------------------------------- Process, Patent and Copyright Policy, Contribution Agreements ---- Do you have any suggestions for changes to the Community Groups and Business Groups process, Contributor Agreement, or Final Specification Agreement that would facilitate participation? Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): all ok --------------------------------- Overall User Interface ---- Please rate the usability of the following aspects: * The home page of your Community or Business Group: [ 2 ++ ] * Other parts of the Community and Business Group Web site.: [ 4 ++++ ] Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): We need to better control the front page. The centre column should be in our total editorial control, not dominated by the posts. --------------------------------- User Accounts ---- Please rate the usability of any of the following actions you carried out. * Requesting an account (if you did so just for Community Groups and Business Groups): [ No opinion ] * Updating your affiliation in your account (if you were asked to do so): [ No opinion ] Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): --------------------------------- Joining a Group ---- Please, select the case that applies to you and comment on your experience joining a group (via the click-through form). * ( ) I joined as a W3C Member employee, my request was processed by my organization's Advisory Committee Representative * ( ) I joined as a non-W3C Member employee, after getting my organization's patent and copyright commitment * (x) I joined as an individual, unaffiliated with any organization Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): --------------------------------- Creating a Group ---- If you created a group, rate the usability of the following aspects: * Clarity of the process for proposing a group: [ No opinion ] * Clarity of the process by which people express support for a group: [ No opinion ] Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): --------------------------------- Group Operations ---- Rate the usability of any of the following operations you have carried out. * Choosing a chair (via checkboxes on the participants page): [ 4 ++++ ] * Publishing a draft specification (available to Chairs only): [ 4 ++++ ] * Publishing a final specification (available to Chairs only): [ 4 ++++ ] * Making a final specification commitment (through the click-through form): [ 3 +++ ] Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): Issues with the URIs of draft/final specs need to be more clearly defined. The "Licensing Commitment" page is misleading as it says "no" for those who did not vote (yet) ! --------------------------------- Suggestion Box ---- What can we do to improve the experience of participating in a Community Group or Business Group, tools you would find useful, or changes to enable you to work more effectively? Feedback: It would be good if W3C Members saw the outcomes of the CGs. For example, when draft/final specs are created, they appear in the weekly newsletter. --------------------------------- Testimonial ---- To help W3C spread the word about Community and Business Groups, we invite you to provide a 1-paragraph testimonial about your Community Group or Business Group experience that you authorize us to publicize. This is purely optional. Comments (or a URI pointing to your comments): The W3C Community Group program has provided the ODRL community the right tools, infrastructure, and governance policies to develop its latest specifications on policy languages.
