RE: Call For Consensus

-1
A decision to preclude changes affecting implementations would prevent this Task Force from properly considering and responding to comments received on working drafts of the specification. The only point in the process at which it is appropriate to signal that backward-incompatible changes are not expected is the transition to Candidate Recommendation. The experience gained from early implementations is no doubt valuable in guiding further development, but this experience may well lead to decisions that substantively change the formal vocabulary defined in the specification. The text of the CfC raises the bar too high for making changes.

This CfC seeks improperly to restrain the Task Force from further developing the specification in response to comments received from participants, from external parties and from prospective implementers.

I would support a CfC that simply sought agreement to publish a working draft or to include items that have been discussed at meetings in the next draft.

Subject: Call For Consensus

Hello Personalization TF members and Happy New Year!

We have a Call For Consensus which ends Monday Jan 8th at 11 am Boston time.

 This task force does not intend to make changes to the the action field and destination vocabularies in https://w3c.github.io/personalization-semantics/<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fw3c.github.io%2Fpersonalization-semantics%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cjjwhite%40ets.org%7Cbac99be2322643fc7e1608d552bf28af%7C0ba6e9b760b34fae92f37e6ddd9e9b65%7C0%7C0%7C636505903330937920&sdata=WyoOlVqj3CiYy7q%2BoN7dqAvtIfrFS%2FNcBBiroFyZaR4%3D&reserved=0> that may affect implementation. Editorial changes may still occur.
Note that

  *   Changes may happen that affect implementation if a strong need is identified. (Such as from implementation feedback)
  *   We may also add advanced terms at some stage and a mechanism for adding options. Terms that may need options have been identified in the specification.

The changes from the previous draft  are: adding ccType , transactionCurrency, transactionAmount and checkout
The term organizationTitle has also been changed to position.
If you have concerns about this proposed consensus position that have not been discussed already and feel that those concerns result in you “not being able to live with” this decision, please let the group know before the CfC deadline. note we do have time to make a few changes and redo the CFC.
 You may vote by replying to this message with a +1 or if you have any concerns a -1 and what your concerns are.

All the best
Lisa and Charles

Thanks
EOM
