Some quick reactions. Overall, I think I need motivations rather than, or at least as well as, solutions! > On Mar 9, 2015, at 22:57 , chaals@yandex-team.ru wrote: > > Hi, > > <https://www.w3.org/community/w3process/track/issues/133> > > We have made a change to this in the draft Process 2015, loosening the constraint for people who are hired by a company that already has a member. > > I propose a rather more substantial set of changes: > > - TAG has 12 members, including TimBL, 3 nominated by the Director, 9 elected by the membership. 12 seems awfully large.

Not true today? > - The TAG are elected by "Schulze-STV" (rather than the current system), 4 or 5 per year like the AB.

The others will be eliminated with the seats going to the next-most preferred candidate(s). OK, this is a change we could make at any time. Why is it goodness to nominate more than one, of whom only one can be elected? > - A W3C member who employs a member of the TAG *must not* nominate another person for election. OK, this is a little odd. You mean, nominate from their own employees (I assume I could always nominate Chaals as long as he doesn’t work for me)? As others note, this needs to say “employs a member of the upcoming TAG (that TAG that is to come after the election)”. > - TAG members participate as representatives of their employer, for Patent Policy purposes. The Process already says this, but the current TAG charter which cannot override Process gives a different impression - this is affirming that the charter should be changed. I think the confusion over the TAG comes not from when the TAG writes a document based on Contributions from its Members, but when they review documents from other WGs. I hope that the old and new processes are quite clear about TAG products and Contributions. > > Cheers > > Chaals > > -- > Charles McCathie Nevile - web standards - CTO Office, Yandex > chaals@yandex-team.ru - - - Find more at http://yandex.com > David Singer Manager, Software Standards, Apple Inc.
