Hello AB Nominees, I am interested in your comments on two items ... 1. One of the things that is somewhat unique about AB members is they are expected to "use their best judgment to find the best solutions for the Web, not just for any particular network, technology, vendor, or user" [1]. Since this implies AB members represent "everyone" including non W3C Members, it seems somewhere between ignorant/remiss to at least a tad bit hubristic, for the AB to continue to conduct its process related discussions in a non-Public forum. To address this issue, I propose: * All AB discussions related to W3C processes (e.g. the W3C Process Document) are to be conducted in a Public forum (e.g. public-w3process list). 2. A few years ago [2] and again this week [3], some members of the Advisory Committee discussed a proposal to change the AB to be "self-selecting" i.e. to eliminate the voting. Unfortunately, those threads are Member-confidential so if you can't read them, I can at least highlight my comments on those threads (if you'd like me to do so). I would appreciate if the AB nominees would please share their thoughts on these two items. -Thanks, ArtB [1] <http://www.w3.org/2002/ab/> [2] <https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-ac-forum/2009AprJun/0146.html> [3] <https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-ac-forum/2013AprJun/0158.html>
