At the present time my goal is to move the number of issues in the raised status towards zero. That goal is a bit, um, optimistic for new issues, but in this case we are talking about an issue that has been raised for over 18 months. I don't believe it to be out of order to ask who has the ball and what are their plans. > Has the WG has resolved the issue (via spec editing) or has the issue > has been withdrawn? I did not suggest such. I am suggesting that we try to move the issue from RAISED to OPEN, not RAISED to CLOSED. > We reviewed and edited the Tracker definitions a year ago: > http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/actions/70 > http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/html-wg/20080717#l-310 > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-wg-announce/2008JulSep/0017.html And I believe I reviewed and edited the Tracker definitions earlier this year, though at this point I suspect that you will be able to find the my discussion on this matter and the actual changes I made faster than I can. >> For my part, I'm doing everything humanly possible to get Ian the answers >> he needs to continue to make progress. > > Thank you.
