RE: United Nations WCIT ITU Conference and Scientific Forums

HTML Working Group,
Sam Ruby,

Thank you.  For anybody interested in discussing the topics, the topics are in the indicated forums: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2012Dec/0149.html and http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-philoweb/2012Dec/0003.html.  In my opinion, the matter now behind us here illustrates, yet again, that we scientists and technologists can both agree and disagree cordially, collegially, and productively in civil discourse.  Now we each know that other forums exist for broader topics as well, including the Philosophy of the Web Community Group (http://www.w3.org/community/philoweb/).

As an aside, on a technological and hypertext-related note, some scientists and technologists are thinking about enhancing forums altogether (http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/p2prg/current/msg01756.html) (http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/p2prg/current/msg01759.html).

I understand that the topic about the WCIT conference was not HTML-specific and that we should mail this mailing list with HTML-specific topics, and not necessarily topics about the forum, as a topic, group processes, as a topic, or group policy, and that other mailing lists exist for such discussions.



Kind regards,

Adam Sobieski
