+1 to publishing BP
It is extremely valuable for all stakeholders seeking to improve
government data reuse around the world. No agency has mastered this, and
this is also reflected in the draft which is not perfect. But still, the
information is a valuable guideline.

Subject: PLEASE VOTE on publishing BP
Summary: should we go ahead and publish bp as it stands today? vote asap.
Following the emails of yesterday [1] [2], there's been some disagreement
about whether it might still be possible to publish Best Practices. The
chairs have agreed to hold an email vote this week; deadline is the end of
the usual meeting time (about 26 hours from when I'm sending this). If
you have a problem with this deadline, please say so, but we don't have a
lot of options. We wont physically be able to publish until January, so
if you have a procedural complain in the next two weeks, there will be time
to consider it.
There will be an informal meeting, at the usual time tomorrow, during which
people can discuss BP if they want, but the email votes will be what
counts.
The document under consideration is here (frozen):
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/gld/raw-file/4dbafa673d70/bp/index.html
and the diff from Friday's version is here:
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/gld/raw-file/default/bp/diff-1213-1218.html
Please respond via email with a vote (+1 if you support, 0 abstain, -1
formal objection, in between to show nuance if you want) on the proposal
below. If you would vote higher with some small edit, please provide the
edit and we'll try to see if there's email consensus for it. Feel free to
make other statements, but please keep it brief. If anyone votes -1 or if
only a few people vote +1, the document will be left unpublished (but still
in its current location on the web).
PROPOSED: Publish
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/gld/raw-file/4dbafa673d70/bp/index.html, with
minimal edits necessary to make it pubrules compliant and fix simple
typos. We believe that the document in its current form expresses
Best Practices for publishing Government Linked Data. We understand
it might be updated by another group in the future or might remain
as-is.
Thank you for your prompt response.
