One will change in place (living); one will be frozen (e.g., for IPR reasons). What triggers a Snapshot ? What example "IPR reasons” use cases are there? > 3) I think “unmaintained” gives the wrong impression… It seems to mean that CG no longer cares about it… > > I think that in general it will mean there is no CG to care about it. Luckily, the CG I co-chair always cares for its deliverables…no matter what state they become... >> Also, as a general comment… it seems like CGs are reflecting more and more the typical W3C processes (spec maturity, chair elections…) >> There could be a sign there… > > What does it signify to you?
