If you do, you will get concern-trolled out of your socks and all the way back to the first cave inside which you can crawl and lie down in misery. You're not the first person to bring the notion of socialisation. But how do you know it wasn't socialised, just to other people? CGs are *meant* to be quick. Quick to get started, quick to kill. > Second, this CG adresses together the financial, governance, > communication and contributions aspects of W3C.

At least, as Team, I don't feel targeted. If anyone has concerns with how open and transparent my work is, please take it to the CG! > Third, one could suspect this CG to be just another way to propose > things that did not get consensus (such as creating a public AB > mailing list), and would generate waste of time for everyone, W3C > team, AC rep, AB... But lets hope it targets more then that. I find this remark to be uncomfortably close to implying that Art might just be doing it in a self-serving fashion, in order to bring back the items of importance to him, which I don't think is fair. Sure enough if we start seeing posts from Craft Caféstow we might be suspicious, but otherwise it's billed as a venue for the public. Maybe people can make suggestions for things you've rejected but using arguments you hadn't considered? Or maybe a lot of people will bring them which might change your appraisal of the topic's importance? -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon
