48-Hour Call for Objections (CfO): Revised Charters; Respond by Wednesday Midnight

Colleagues:

This is a Call for Objections (CfO) to the Protocols and Formats Working
Group (PFWG) on revised charter drafts for two Working Groups to be
created from our one, existing Working Group.

As you are aware, there has been considerable discussion among us, and
in the W3C Advisory Committee regarding possible participation and
performance enhancement gains should our group be split into two.

Before forwarding revised charters for each of these two new groups to
W3C Management, and then to the Advisory Committee, we want to establish
whether current PFWG members can live with the revisions proposed by
these two new drafts. We also need a working count on who plans to
participate in which activities.

Because of the importance of ensuring there is WG support for the
charters going forward, we request that you record your opinion in the
survey (referenced below) rather than simply imply consent by not objecting.


ACTION TO TAKE

According to agreed PFWG Consensus Procedures, this CfO is now open for
objection, comment, as well as statements of support via email. Silence
will be interpreted as support, though explicit messages of support are
strongly preferred and expressly solicited. Please make every effort to
respond by the deadline, 23:59 Boston Time (Midnight) this coming
Wednesday 27 May.

Please review the two revised candidate charter draft documents at:

Accessible Platform Architectures (APA) Working Group
http://www.w3.org/2015/04/draft-spec-charter.html

ARIA Working Group
http://www.w3.org/2015/04/draft-aria-charter.html

Then, please respond to our WBS survey on these charters at:

https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/32212/201505_charters/

Again, we need your responses no later than 23:59 (Midnight) Boston
Time, Wednesday 27 May.

Thank you in advance for your reviews and survey responses.

Janina
