> Elsewhere on the survey page we see: > > 'A "no" vote in this survey is a formal objection.' > -- http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/40318/htmlbg/ > > So each of the 'no' votes is a formal objection. Thanks. What seems to be confusing is that in the W3C Process Document it says: "In the W3C process, an individual may register a Formal Objection to a decision. A Formal Objection to a group decision is one that the reviewer requests that the Director consider as part of evaluating the related decision (e.g., in response to a request to advance a technical report). Note: In this document, the term "Formal Objection" is used to emphasize this process implication: Formal Objections receive Director consideration. The word "objection" used alone has ordinary English connotations." [1] For clarification, does the above statement apply to the 4 'no' votes? Did the Director give the 4 'no' votes due consideration or is the passage above superceded by the WG charter statement that you cited [2] so that the power of consideration is relegated to the HTML5 WG Chairs? Or maybe the 'no' voters would have had to register (in some other manner) a formal request to have Director consideration? Thanks again.
