Call for Consensus to Adopt Changes to Payment Request to Satisfy a Formal Objection - Review Requested by 9 December

Dear Web Payments Working Group Participants,

In response to the Director’s request to the W3C Membership to review Proposed Recommendations for Payment Request API and
Payment Method Identifiers, we received two Formal Objections. After discussions with one of the Members, I have drafted a pull request
to address their concerns. I believe that if we adopt these changes the Member will withdraw their Formal Objection.

Note: We do not have a pull request at this time related to the other Formal Objection.

This is a Call for Consensus to adopt the following changes in Payment Request API:
   https://github.com/w3c/payment-request/pull/978

We welcome discussion of the proposal on GitHub.

PLEASE RESPOND to the proposal by 9 December 2021 (10am ET).

For the co-Chairs,
Ian Jacobs

=========
PROPOSAL

That the Web Payments Working Group adopts the following pull request and requests that the
Director include the changes in the Payment Request API Proposed Recommendation.
 https://github.com/w3c/payment-request/pull/978

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 9 December 2021 (10am ET) 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.
