In practical terms, the minimum that webapps needs to do is to give its consent to publication and transition decisions; that can easily be done through a call for consensus.  I trust that Art will help to nudge discussions over to the WebAppSec group.

We already switched mailing lists once (twice if you count going from the initial proposal on public-webapi@w3.org to public-appformats@w3.org) and I would like to avoid doing it again. Getting feedback is hard enough as it is, requiring all relevant people to subscribe to yet another list would be bad.

At Apple we have a somewhat lengthy internal process for joining new Working Groups, so if feedback has to go to a new WG's list, you will likely miss out on Apple feedback for at least a few months.

In addition to this, I'd personally prefer to have discussion remain on public-webapps because we've managed to gather all the stakeholders here, and gathering them again will just add disruption and delay. Perhaps WebAppSec could be focused on new deliverables instead of taking over a deliverable that is relatively on track as it is. This could include a hypothetical CORS 2, or even production of the CORS test suite.
