Re: Proposed W3C Charter: XML Activity Proposal and Charters (until 2015-07-30)

All but 2 of the proposed charters lack a decision section.  and the two 
with decision sections don't have the paragraph on asynchronous decision 
making for meetings to enable participation worldwide participation.  
Here's some suggested text from current charters.  You could take the 
whole decision section from a charter like WebApps.

W3C is a world wide organization and any telecon is going to be at night 
for someone and travel can be very expensive. WG Charters have been 
adopting text like the following to allow everyone worldwide to 
participate in decisions (the wording below is taken from the 
Performance WG, WebApps, Second Screen, Auto and others also use it). 
This doesn't slow anything down. The decision is made, changes are made, 
and if it gets objected to, it gets backed out if it is reversed.

[[
Any resolution taken in a face-to-face meeting or teleconference is to 
be considered provisional until 10 working days after the publication of 
the resolution in draft minutes sent to the working groups mailing list. 
If no objections are raised on the mailing list within that time, the 
resolution will be considered to have consensus as a resolution of the 
Working Group.
