There are a range of side discussions that are highly inappropriate. There are others that, so long as they don't lead to a decision blindsiding the rest of the AC, seem like a reasonable preamble or accompaniment to a more open discussion. Agreed. My words above didn't reflect my exact thoughts. I wanted to say that side discussions cannot be the basis for substantive changes that deeply impact the process of a Working Group unless consensus rules quoted in my previous message are respected. But let me play my Art Barstow here: transparency is best. Excerpt from the CSS WG Charter approval announcement: 3 reviewers recommended that speculative new work start in the Web Incubator Community Group, while another reviewer was opposed to it. Therefore, WICG was added to the list of liaisons and work may be (but need not be) started there. 3 reviewers asked for A. One reviewer (me) objected. Charter is approved with B and why and how it happened that way is not shared with ACs since we never got more information that that. Was it even discussed with me who objected? No. I even pinged PLH about it to get W3M's position, he answered: > we don't have one yet since I don't know the status of this particular comment Never heard back past that message. So it was discussed only with the browser vendors calling for that change OR not discussed with anyone. Either way is completely wrong. </Daniel>
