Re: Moving forward with MultiTrack API [was: Agenda: HTML-A11Y 18 March HEADS UP! at 15:00Z]

We had an approval on this particular part in the meeting three or  
four weeks ago from what I read in the minutes given changes made from  
feedback. The changes were applied more than two weeks ago. Since then  
we had the CfC and no more input.

I cannot attend a meeting at 3am and neither can other media subgroup  
people. If it requires my attendance to move it forward, it never will.

I believe a process that requires approval in a phone meeting that  
does not involve the relevant participants is a broken process. I  
believe a group like ours has to make its decisions on email or  
through votes that are accessible to all. Otherwise decisions are  
never made.

The only deadline we have this far is the one set by the Html WG - we  
require feedback deadlines here, too, such that change proposals don't  
starve within the group.

This particular proposal has had no further contribution in three  
weeks in contrast to the other one. There is harm in holding it back  
but no harm in extending the discussion forum. It's not like it goes  
straight into the standard just by putting it in front of the HTML wg  
for discussion in a wider audience.

Regards,
Silvia.
