Last week's survey on the decision policy had several votes for not
having a custom decision policy and instead simply using the W3C Process.
I suggested that AGWG keep the best of both:
* Use the W3C Process which is tested and improved over decades and
works with many different working groups including groups that
regularly work with regulatory environment and with political
pressure. It is flexible and allows groups to work quickly.
* Use the work done on the custom decision policy (labels and
procedures of placeholder, exploratory, developing, refining, and
mature) simply as a way to operate without locking ourselves into
declaring it as a formal decision policy that we won't be able to
change for two years.
There was sufficient support to explore this proposal. It was
complicated by the fact that the W3C had updated its Process the day
before (which I didn't know). The Working Group agreed to resurvey this
new proposal and give people a few days to look at the updated W3C
Process doc. The survey has a links to the work that the AGWG and
chairs have done to update the custom decision policy and the updated
W3C Process. The W3C Process is a large complex document. We are only
concerned with the Consensus section, which is rather brief.
There is also an option to use the W3C Process and make minor additions
in the charter. Those additions cannot be changed for two years once
they are approved.
Please complete the survey before Tuesday. It is a short deadline this
week. If the survey doesn't pass, then we will return to the edits from
last week on the Custom Decision Policy.
