Hi Paul, The RWW work is presently working on provenance / temporal factors; which i am sure you'd be supportive of defining. without knowing whether your post 'hit the list', this email should ensure it does so.. as noted: https://www.w3.org/community/rww/ is the 'join' link... its uncomfortable to note, what should go without saying; that, you're all welcome (and desirably asked to) join the list... https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rww/2021May/0167.html speaks to a linked idea.... therein; [11] https://www.internetsociety.org/chapters/resources/open-internet-standards-chapter-toolkit/ [12] https://open-stand.org/ [13] https://www.internetsociety.org/chapters/start/ a potentially 'leverable' methodology...
