"W3C position" Re: IDCG ideas for consideration for building an action plan

I believe it is the case that without reaching explicit agreement from the  
membership on such a topic, W3C doesn't have an agreed position. Although  
many members, staff, and individual collaborators express a position it  
often happens that W3C - as an explicit decision - doesn't try to spend  
its time agreeing a "positioning statement".

Where it agrees on doing something - like setting up and applying its CEPC  
- it seems the preference is to let actions speak.

cheers
