Fred Andrews: > The W3C are responsible for their own actions. ... We are extending > them the courtesy of helping them understand the issues. I do not belong to those who think that the W3C management does not "understand the issues". I am convinced that the opposite is true and that they are fully aware that the W3C with EME is on a confrontation course with the Open Source community. Otherwise the policy stated in the "World Wide Web Consortium Process Document" would not have been violated (by ignoring all fundamental objections). Let me take this opportunity to point out that according to the same paragraph of the "World Wide Web Consortium Process Document" all "legitimate views and objections" by others such as "a group in another organization, or the general public" also have to be considered (see below). Cheers, Andreas --- "Consensus is a core value of W3C. To promote consensus, the W3C process requires Chairs to ensure that groups consider all legitimate views and objections, and endeavor to resolve them, whether these views and objections are expressed by the active participants of the group or by others (e.g., another W3C group, a group in another organization, or the general public). Decisions MAY be made during meetings (face-to-face or distributed) as well as through email. Note: The Director, W3C Chair, and COO have the role of assessing consensus within the Advisory Committee." http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/policies.html#Consensus
