No, there was no AB task force.  There were no AB phone calls to develop 
Process2015, only weekly CG phone calls.

For Process2015 the AB delegated to the CG to use an open process to 
recommend Process2015.  The AB maintained decision authority (that it 
has from the W3C Process) to choose whether or not to adopt the CG 
recommendations (which it did), and then it used the output of the CG 
process to formally take the document for AC approval.  The AC ballot 
resulted in 4 formal objections which the Director is currently thinking 
about.
