Dear Web Payments Working Group Participants, This is a Call for Consensus to publish the following specifications as W3C Recommendations: Payment Request API https://w3c.github.io/payment-request/ Payment Method Identifiers https://w3c.github.io/payment-method-id/ We would like to thank the editors for preparing these documents. PLEASE RESPOND to the proposal by 11 January 2022 (17h00 UTC). For the co-Chairs, Ian Jacobs =========================================== BACKGROUND On 30 September 2021 the Director invited W3C Member review of Proposed Recommendations of Payment Request API and Payment Method Identifier. The review resulted in two Formal Objections to Payment Request. The Editors made some non-substantive changes to the specification to satisfy aspects of one of the Formal Objections (see below). The Editors prepared a public record of the Formal Objections: Advisory Committee Review of Payment Request API and Payment Method Identifiers https://www.w3.org/2021/12/prapi-objs.html We ask that the Working Group review the document and annotations regarding the Formal Objections. This is a proposal to request that the Director advance the specifications to Recommendation (per W3C Process [1]). [1] https://www.w3.org/2021/Process-20211102/#transition-reqs =========================================== CHANGES TO PAYMENT REQUEST API (Since the 30 September 2021 Proposed Recommendation) * Changes to address aspects of one Formal Objection: https://github.com/w3c/payment-request/pull/978 * Informative changes to satisfy concerns raised by the Internationalization Working Group. https://github.com/w3c/payment-request/pull/971 * An informative change due to a change in terminology in the URL specification: https://github.com/w3c/payment-request/issues/969 * A small number of editorial changes to fix bugs. For the full commit history, see: https://github.com/w3c/payment-request/commits/gh-pages =========================================== PROPOSAL That the Web Payments Working Group request that the W3C Director override the two Formal Objections and approve publication of Payment Request API and Payment Method Identifiers as Recommendations. Please indicate one of the following in your response: 1. Support the proposal. 2. Do not support the proposal (please provide rationale). 3. Support the consensus of the Web Payments Working Group. 4. Abstain. Rationale welcome in your response. If there is consensus by 11 January 2022 (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 new 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/2021/Process-20211102/#Consensus =========================================== NEXT STEPS Transition Request Following a Working Group Decision to Publish * In the case where this Call for Consensus results in a decision to publish, the Chairs plan to request approval from the W3C Director to publish Recommendations (including review of any Formal Objections). -- Ian Jacobs <ij@w3.org> https://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs/ Tel: +1 917 450 8783
