Period. That they would have to follow the Decision Process? I think that would be a given. If they weren't interested, the person would then just do Last Call comments, or Formal Objections, instead. > > A different reason could conceivably get a different set of conditions, again, > all depending on the reason. > > If no reason is given, then there is no guarantee that change proposals will be > accepted. I'm sorry, but that is very vague, and seems arbitrary. It's also not specified in the Decision Process. A person cannot be expected to follow rules that aren't explicitly given. And when rules are explicitly given, a person should be able to expect consistency and adherence to these rules from all parties--including those who set the rules. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
