Fair consideration does not allow one proposal to benefit over another. > It seems to me that your argument is purely based on giving a tactical > advantage to the "Instate Longdesc" Change Proposal, not on making > sure that *all* proposals get a fair hearing, That is completely backward. My argument is based on the fact that Jonas stated on this list [1] in no uncertain terms that it would make his proposal to obsolete longdesc stronger if his proposal was decided first. Allowing that does not make for a fair hearing. > I can understand why you would feel that way > It's natural to want to advocate for your preferred proposal. I can understand why you have been delaying the longdesc issue instead of expediting it as you promised. It is natural for you to favor what you want to prevail. The proposal that you authored and advocated in 2010 stated, "There is a superior alternative to longdesc: aria-describedby". Your prior bias is documented. And now you will be deciding the fate of longdesc. I have asked you this before [2] and you have ignored my question. I now ask you again. Maciej, will you please rescue yourself from adjudicating this issue? > our job is to ensure that the process is fair to everyone, not to help > a particular side win. Exactly.
