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. Survey on using the W3C Process <https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/w3c_decision_policy/>.
