RE: Call for Consensus: Public minutes

Hi All,

Could those who advocate the change explain how the change will make it easier to engage more participants in the proposal discussions and the transition to spec work? I understand from Valentino during the last call that Apple have a particular concern about this issue but I didn't understand what it was.

At yesterday's meeting I asked browser vendors to provide input on the success criteria document. Does this change assist browser vendors providing such input?

Thank you,

James

Subject: Call for Consensus: Public minutes

Hi Web Advertising BG,

We launched this group in participant-and-member-confidential mode, where the minutes are shared only with participants and W3C members.
Participants have recently expressed a preference for working in public,[1] as W3C's spec-writing working groups and incubator groups do.
They've said that would make it easier to engage more participants in the proposal discussions and the transition to spec work.

This is a call for consensus to work in public going forward.

That means making future meeting minutes publicly viewable. I do not propose to change the confidentiality of anything that has previously been created. If we make this change, we will still have the option to change the default for individual discussions, e.g. to Chatham House Rule (no attribution) for data-sharing.

If you have any concerns with this plan, please respond on this (public) list by our next call, Tuesday, 23 June. Supporting comments welcome.
Silence will be considered consent. The 23 June call will still be conducted member-confidential for the opportunity to consider any objections.

Thanks!
--Wendy
