===========================================
PROPOSAL

That the Web Payments Working Group request that the W3C Director approve
publication of Payment Request API as a Proposed Recommendation. The
specification has not changed since publication as a Candidate
Recommendation [1] in December 2020.

Please indicate one of the following in your response:

1. Support the proposal.

2. Request some changes, but support the proposal even if suggested changes
are not taken into account.

3. Request some changes, and do not support the proposal unless the changes
are taken into account.

4. Do not support the proposal (please provide rationale).

5. Support the consensus of the Web Payments Working Group.

6. Abstain.

We invite you to include rationale in your response.

If there is strong consensus by 27 January 2021 (17h00 UTC) for the
proposal, it will carry.

===========================================
FORMAL OBJECTIONS

* If you wish your LACK of support to publish to be conveyed to the
Director and reviewed, please include the phrase "FORMAL OBJECTION” in your
response and be sure to include substantive arguments or rationale. The W3C
Director takes Formal Objections seriously, and therefore they typically
require significant time and effort to address.

* Silence will be taken to mean there is no Formal Objection.

* If there are Formal Objections, the Chairs plan to contact the
individual(s) who made them to see whether there are changes that would
address the concern and increase consensus to publish.

For more information, see:
https://www.w3.org/2020/Process-20200915/#Consensus

===========================================
NEXT STEPS

* In the case where this Call for Consensus results in a decision to
publish, the Chairs will request approval from the W3C Director to publish
the Proposed Recommendation (including review of any Formal Objections).

* See the optimistic timeline to Recommendation:
