Hi, Thanks to Kai for summarizing the session at TPAC on the blog: http://www.w3.org/community/w3process/2011/11/15/results-from-tpac-2011-session-on-revisiting-how-w3c-creates-standards/ (and thanks to Steve for starting the first thread on the list :) There was a lot of positive energy at the break out session on making the W3C process better adapted to the way groups actually develop standards, and I would personally want to ensure that we don't lose that energy by having this group dormant. Charles, you've nominated yourself as a chair, so I'm hoping you'll put some energy in organizing the discussions here; since you're also an Advisory Board Member, I think your participation will be extremely useful here. I wonder if anyone else would be interested to volunteer as a co-chair, to put more energy behind driving this work forward. (I am not, FWIW) I think our first goal should be to refine what topics we want to work on, what outcome we expect from the group; I think it's fairly clear that the Advisory Board would be the ultimate recipient of our input, but whether that input is a list of issues, and/or a list of solutions is not yet entirely clear to me (at least). We should also try to identify which issues need fixing (because they prevent groups to work adequately) vs would-be-nice-to-fix (to better reflect how groups currently work); another axis of analysis should be which can be fixed quickly (for some definition of quickly) and which are longer-terms changes.
