I was pretty disappointed that we weren't able to get to full consensus on the community group charter this meeting, and even more so since I may have been the source of part of the objection. Per my notes, it sounds like the objector's three primary concerns are as follows: 1. *Objector's issues were not given sufficient discussion or review in this or previous meetings*. I want to personally apologize for this, since it sounds like I was the one who unfairly squelched the previously raised request for cleaner commits and better commit messages. I'm sorry about this; I should have been more open to continued conversation on the issue. 2. *The reasons for changing the Chair selection process from the default boilerplate in the charter template to the current process are unclear*. I believe issue #32 Method of choosing chairs in the CG Charter <https://github.com/swicg/potential-charters/issues/32> does raise the question of how to choose chairs, and I recommended adopting the boilerplate method. PR #10 <https://github.com/swicg/potential-charters/pull/10> is where the specifics are defined, and there is some conversation on that PR, but it's true that the motivation isn't given. I wonder if Juan could give some explanation of why this process is preferable, if it would overcome this objection? 3.*There are specifics to the Chair selection process currently in the charter that the Objector thinks are wrong*. If this is the case, we probably need to list those specifics and possibly amend them. I think we can reach consensus on this issue, and hopefully move forward on the charter. I assume this discussion falls under the "14 days for objections" CfC period. Finally, I offered to create a separate changelog for the CG charter document; I'll try to get it finished this weekend.
