Re: Did the "June Draft" get a vote?

Dan,

the decision is recorded in Peter's summary toward the end of the minutes of yesterday's meeting:
	http://www.w3.org/2013/06/19-dnt-minutes.html

> peterswire: near end of time. have chair proposal. Considered alternatives, which did not get majority support. so no alternative received more support than w3c proposal.
> peterswire: will have issues you want to raise that will be affirmatively raised in 1 week. Will see on public list. Will look at text. Clarify issues.

Note that organizing the group's work and decisions is the chair's prerogative and task.  Also note that, per Roy's proposal during the call (which we adopted), the record of previous discussions and issues remains available, as do the previous drafts.

Thanks,

Thomas Roessler, W3C <tlr@w3.org> (@roessler)
