RE: United Nations WCIT ITU Conference and Scientific Forums

HTML Working Group,
Steve Faulkner,

Thank you for your opinion as well.  The W3C has no other forum for forum-related discussions, and it appears that you and Mike Taylor agree with one another and that you and I also disagree.  I think that participants who do not want to discuss the topic here can see the appropriately titled subject of the forum thread and that those who do should have the opportunity to.

I also think that the charter should convenience the group and group productivity, describing tasks, deliverables, and milestones, and that forums-related discussions can pertain directly to enhancing group productivity to accomplish chartered tasks.  Your position that scientists' and technologists' discussion of their forums, in their forums, is somehow contrary to their forum charters is problematic.  Additionally, the charter could become a group discussion topic with the HTML 5.1 versioning, digital publishing, digital books, digital textbooks, scholarly and scientific communication topics upcoming.

I do not agree that the group desires an interpretation of their charter which precludes the group's capability to discuss their forum.



Kind regards,

Adam Sobieski
