Re: Proposed charter change for the 'Why EPUB 4' issue

I agree with the original issue (#27) that prompted this work, but I have to say that I have numerous major objections to this text – in the context the Charter document.  I believe that 90+% of the content provided in this document has NO PLACE in the charter for the WG.  It’s marketing.  I would certainly support the development of a separate document, from the BG, that contains most (but not all) of this material as supplemental to the charter.

So what is the process to have this content rejected from the charter?  Does this need to happen in the BG or the WG?
(and this is why I raised my concerns from day one about the fact that we have two groups vying for control over that Charter).

Dear all,

as agreed on the F2F meeting in London, there is now a proposal to settle Issue #27[1]. BillK (with minor help from Liisa and I) has created a document on the business case of EPUB & EPUB 4[2], and a there is also a proposal for the charter text that contains a single paragraph and a reference to that document[3] (see the paragraph right before section 2.1).

These changes have not yet been incorporated into the 'main' charter (hence the funny URL-s [2] and [3]). Please either add your  comment to [1] or the "Pull request" issue[4]. If you want to propose specific editorial changes, that can also be done by using [5] or [6], respectively.

Thanks

Ivan

P.S. The link to the 'business case' in the proposed new charter paragraph does not work at this moment; it points to the place where the final document will be if and when this proposed change, a.k.a. 'pull request' is merged to the main branch.
