I agree. When Chris was Chairing, the group did spend time on tracker
definitions:
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/Main_Page#Tracker_Definitions
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/actions/70

It is probably minor updating but, at some point would be good to have
those definitions in sync with the policy.

You are welcome.

Actually the main points that I wanted confirmation of, are  the
second two bullets.

* If the change proposal is not done by the deadline, the issue will
be closed without prejudice and DEFERRED to the NEXT VERSION of HTML.

* An issue that is closed without prejudice in this way can only be
re-raised with approval of the HTML Chairs. It is an ENDPOINT for the
escalation process.

Are these correct?

Thanks.

Best Regards.
Laura
