Please refrain from posting topics unrelated to the original bug reported here. > Where all I have to do is comment on a bug and the W3C team rep decides to > change the rules of what gets posted to HTML-WG. > > This following the W3C team rep changing the rules of HTML WG team membership. > > This following the W3C team rep changing the rules about who could post to the > HTML WG, following my postings to this email. Post-hoc ergo Proper-hoc is a fallacy[1]. In this case, it was this very bug that prompted the effort that led to the DiscussionGuidelines[2] being posted. > Do we see a trend here? Not the one that you are implying. The only trend here is that Laura files a bug, participates constructively in its resolution, and results are being posted. I'll also state that it is my turn to chair the telecon this week, and this will also be a topic there. Doing so will be neither unusual or unexpected -- we have been doing this each and every week for years now. > Rules that are changed based on bias, that single out individuals aren't rules > -- they are barriers to participation. First, the rules have not changed, they simply have been published[3]. Second, nobody has been singled out. In my 1.75 years as co-chair, I can attest to the fact that there are plenty of people who have been counseled on their participation. And, no, I have no intention of "outing" them. And, finally, yes -- they are barriers to participation. People who consistently can not follow these simple rules are not welcome to participate in this effort. Period. - Sam Ruby P.S. If you have concerns with the W3C team rep, I suggest that you contact either the Interaction Domain Leader or the Chief Operating Officer. You can find their contact information on the People section of the W3C web site[4]. Do NOT repeat these points again here.
