Are you referring to my question "who gets to decide who votes as a block?" I don't think *anyone* should get to decide. We have rules for membership, and we should follow them. If the Director wants to override a working group's vote, well okay that may be his prerogative, but the public record should show the invididual votes, and the process until then should be the same for all. > I have stated that the WHATWG (note: WHATWG, not HTML WG) is operating > under a CTR process. I *was* talking about the HTML WG, and so were you when this discussion was initially brought up: "For better or worse, the HTML WG is operating under a CTR process." http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009May/0063.html That's exactly what happened with micro-data: Ian made a proposal and immediately integrated it into the spec. That's exactly what should happen with HTML5+RDFa. -Ben
