The WG Decision Policy gives the following description of a re-open request: http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy-v2.html?rev=1.38;content-type=text%2Fhtml#reopening 1. Submit a Reopen Request A request to reopen an issue should be submitted to the public-html@w3.org<mailto:public-html@w3.org> mailing list. A request to reopen should identify the issue to be reopened, and should include the following: * Material new information relevant to the decision, for example of the type identified by the decision itself as relevant. * A revised Change Proposal incorporating the new information as rationale. For reopening to be seriously considered, this new information and proposal must be likely to have been enough to materially change the decision, lacking refutation or additional new information, When I read your re-open request at http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/movealt I cannot find a "revised change proposal incorporating the new information as rationale". Do you have such a change proposal? Your re-open request appears to be more of a history of how ISSUE-31 was processed and the current state of the HTML5 specifications than a request that provides "material new information relevant to the decision". Can you please more clearly identify the "material new information" you are providing as your rationale for re-opening ISSUE-31? /paulc Paul Cotton, Microsoft Canada 17 Eleanor Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K2E 6A3 Tel: (425) 705-9596 Fax: (425) 936-7329 From: Steve Faulkner [mailto:faulkner.steve@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, February 11, 2012 6:00 AM To: Maciej Stachowiak; Sam Ruby; Paul Cotton Cc: HTMLWG WG; Judy Brewer; Janina Sajka; Michael Cooper; Michael(tm) Smith Subject: re-open request for issue 31 Dear Chairs I would appreciate your consideration of the following.
