The Community Group process affords greater protections > to those groups that document their decision processes. [Milan] A couple suggested edits: * Delete your first sentence * Replace "there is limited accountability in how the Chair reaches decisions" with "the Chair(s) have no obligation to consider the opinion of the members or maintain commitments." > A quick context reminder here: this text is a small patch. The primary change > we plan to make regarding accountability (as discussed in November [1]) is > around Chair selection. [Milan] A small patch can still deliver a lot of information if it cuts the fluff and gets to the point. If groups find the language objectionable (which I hope they will), they have an easy solution: adopt an op agreement. They can choose from the present menu or cut/paste from another group. We can give advanced notice to existing groups so they can avoid the warning appearing on their homepage. > > Ian > > [1] http://www.w3.org/2012/11/29-council-minutes.html#item01 > > -- > Ian Jacobs (ij@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs/ > Tel: +1 718 260 9447
