Hi, I think ISSUE-137 is very low hanging fruit. Can we open it and put it on the next agenda please? TL;DR: I propose we remove section 6.2.7 Working Group "Heartbeat" Requirement. Details: As written it requires groups to publish *something* every 3 months. Given that most groups make editors' drafts publicly available, and work on a public mailing list, the requirement to prove they are still doing something is redundant. In addition the mechanism is redundant, since the current process includes, in chapter 7, a requirement that groups SHOULD publish new Working Drafts when there has been a significant change - or every six months where that hasn't happened. The most significant change in practice would be making the Process about 1.5% shorter (based on the current draft). cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathie Nevile - web standards - CTO Office, Yandex chaals@yandex-team.ru - - - Find more at http://yandex.com
