Re: [patwg-charter] Include references to W3C Process and Antitrust Guidelines only (#32)

@AramZS 

As you asked about Ethical Web Principles.

"or even be used to cause harm." - 'harm' is not defined and in any case is outside the scope of a technical standards body. Some people will consider the possibility of a technology being used to cause harm a reason to remove or interfere with that technology. Others will see it as an opportunity to improve compliance with laws to reduce the risk of it being abused. The Ethical Web Principles need to align to laws, just like the PAT Working Group charter. Without this the W3C creates quasi-laws that neither it, or the individuals that participate, have the authority to do that.

If individuals are motivated by the Ethical Web Principles then that is a matter for them. Requiring the entire group to be motivated by a single position concerning ethics is non-secular.
