[Milan] This is a template I will support with a few modifications: > "This group does not have a Charter that describes its scope, deliverables, > operational rules and decision making process. [Milan] Above should start with "Caution:". Also, this may be a separate topic, but in the above you've lumped scope/deliverables in with operations. This complicates enforcement a bit, because a group could have a charter which omits operational rules, and they would still need to have this warning label. > In order to enable a wide > variety of styles of groups, W3C imposes relatively little structure on how the > Chair manages a group (see the Process). [Milan] I would like to delete the above. This is not the forum to justify decisions and it obfuscates the real content of the message. > Without a Charter, it may be unclear > how the group operates or the Chair could change how the group operates > without warning. [Milan] I prefer "... unclear how the group operates (eg Chair could change how the group operates without notice or justification). > W3C strongly encourages groups to operate under a written > Charter. [Milan] The word "written" should be replaced with "officially posted" or such. > However, even with a Charter, participants should be aware that the > Process currently allows the Chair to change the Charters after notifying the > group of the change." [Milan] I have been assuming a charter change requires whatever form of approval that was specified in the last charter. In any case, I agree with Ian that this is not the right forum.
