Sure, I'll volunteer to write a Change Proposal because it will exercise the new HTML Working Group Decision Policy[1]. However, I feel as if the bar was just moved on work that has been public knowledge for some time now. I expect that anyone that wants to make changes to a WD that the editor of that WD doesn't want to make from this moment on will have to go through this process? I'll also note that you and the other chairs have known for quite some time that this proposal was going to be put forward and didn't say anything about having to write a Change Proposal at any point before now. I thought the HTML WG Decision Policy was still being actively discussed? Are you now attempting to "go live" with the HTML WG Decision Policy, or is there another reason? On a lighter note, this whole thing is starting to remind me of an episode of Futurama: http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=156353&title=bureaucrats-joy Specifically, this song: http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=156361&title=bureaucrats-song -- manu [1]http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html#change-proposal -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny) President/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Establishing an Open Digital Media Commerce Standard http://blog.digitalbazaar.com/2009/09/28/a-digital-content-commerce-standard/
