   6.html

     [50] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2012Mar/0766.html

   paulc: since we already had 2 CPs, we provided early feedback
   ... feedback was taken up by the a11y TF on their call today
   ... reqested revisions to the counter proposal
   ... Upcoming straw poll for objections for ISSUE-158

   ISSUE-158?

   <trackbot> ISSUE-158 -- HTML4's content-model for <object>
   should continue -- open

   <trackbot> [51]http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/158

     [51] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/158

   paulc: chairs sent out notification to CP authors
   ... minor changes made to one of the CPs
   ... we'll be issuing a straw poll next week
   ... should go out on monday
   ... polls last for one week
   ... chairs are not counting votes; looking for arguments
   against the positions taken
   ... no need to +1 after an argument has been put forward
   ... any other business?

   tantek_: question about CP iteration process
   ... CP authors are given a chance to iterate based on chair
   feedback
   ... are there any deadlines or is it based on when the chairs
   decide to go to a poll?

   paulc: there isn't a fixed set of rules; chairs are flexible

   <paulc> ISSUE-204 CP review:
   [52]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2012Mar/076
   6.html

     [52] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2012Mar/0766.html

   paulc: our feedback here was fairly strong

   <paulc> "Unless this flaw is corrected by April 18th, the
   chairs will not accept the ARIA_CORTHCWSR proposal, and will
   instead proceed to a call for consensus on the
   AllowAriaReferHidden proposal."

   paulc: gave fixed date for a change which would cause us to
   accept the CP
   ... in some cases we provide editorial feedback, or make
   suggestions to strengthen the case made
   ... in other cases we're giving dates for going to survey
   ... we're trying to be as explicit as possible

   <rubys> We gave dates for ISSUE-134, ISSUE-191, and ISSUE-203.
   We have yet to give dates on ISSUE-183, ISSUE-184, ISSUE-185,
   ISSUE-189.

   paulc: if we give a deadline and it's unreasonable due to your
   other work or other relevant factors, you should respond right
   away

   tantek_: followup question
   ... chairs said (204 feedback) "this statement must be backed
   up with evidence"
   ... my cp for drop-pubdate asserts that there is sufficient
   hatom adoption
   ... would referring to, say, default wordpress templates,
   wordpress.com, be sufficient?

   paulc: that's exactly the kind of evidence we're looking for
   ... if someone says "this feature isn't implemented in any
   browsers" and someone else says "this is implemented in two
   browsers", need evidence to back up claims
   ... if the counter proposal provides contrary evidence, you may
   want to raise the bar of your own data

   tantek_: i'm still trying to acheive wider consensus, it's not
   clear if i'll be able to acheive this

   paulc: the fewer things we need to take to straw polls, the
   better

   glenn: what is the status on the content encryption task force?

   paulc: it's in my work queue
   ... proposed plan to my co-chairs and wg
   ... now that the heartbeat drafts are being published, this is
   back at the top of my queue
   ... you'll probably see an announcement next week

chair and scribe for next week

   <Zakim> glenn, you wanted to discuss encrypted media tf

   paulc: rubys will chair next week
   ... no volunteers to scribe
