The decision policy in our charter is perhaps the most relevant source: "We expect that typically, an editor makes an initial proposal, which is refined in discussion with Working Group members and other reviewers, and consensus emerges with little formal decision-making." -- http://www.w3.org/2007/03/HTML-WG-charter.html#decisions That's the short version. It goes on to explain exception/escalation mechanisms, cite the rest of W3C process, etc. Email is not the ideal way to learn about these social processes. Lower latency media such as IRC, phone, and face-to-face are considerably better. We had a "W3C process Q&A" session at the ftf meeting http://www.w3.org/html/wg/nov07 and we had an orientation session back in April http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Apr/1171.html Perhaps we should do that more often. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
