Re: [patwg-charter] jwrosewell: "primarily non-technical" -> "do not have any technical component" (#8)

As @alexcone recognises there are public documents that state the position and I will reference those when referring to regulation in the future. As far as these documents are concerned anyone is free to reference them and remind the community of the requirements they place on participants.

Perhaps @AramZS and @seanturner would like to invite the CMA to present to the group at a forthcoming meeting so that their position can be obtained first hand. The CMA are a key stakeholder in the work of PAT CG and a possible future WG.

In relation to Google. There is a significant "distraction tax" for the rest of the industry continuing to debate and engage with Google proposals, or other proposals that would require Google to implement them if the web is not to splinter, unless those proposals have been approved in principle by the CMA. As someone who is not the CMA or Google I'm encouraging the parties to communicate clearly to avoid wasting our valuable time. I take exception to being reprimanded for stating a fact and requesting clarification.

We have not moved a long way from the issue title and change. I suggest we start another issue thread titled "How to engage with regulators" if the discussion is to continue.
