I think one of the one's that we need to add is: [FastTrack] Fast-track an already existing de-facto standard to being a W3C Recommendation Some group of people or organization have produced a specification (possibly with or without a degree of legal protection) that has become widely deployed within the industry. However, they would like their standard to become a W3C Recommendation, possibly because but not necessarily because they would like to be even more well-known and have stronger IPR, would like to see integration with other communities and standards. They strongly feel they do not want to start with scratch. One requirement may be working with a large group of people not normally affiliated with the W3C or familiar with W3C Process, and having more than one organization managing the standards. Example: Some of the work in the Social Web space could follow this trajectory, as does HTML5. > > Feel free to go in and edit the wiki (and if you can't get write > access, please let me know). > > _ Ian > > [1] http://www.w3.org/2010/04/w3c-vision-public/wiki/Use_Cases > -- > Ian Jacobs (ij@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs/ > Tel: +1 718 260 9447 > > >
