[removing WebAppSec WG, since obviously this doesn't concern their
chartered work]
At this point, I think it would be a useful discussion for the Chair of
the IG to move the IG to member-only in a re-chartering, as it may be
the only way to keep the discussion on-topic.
In particular, it would also be a good idea for members who are finding
these conversations wasting their time to bring up with the Advisory
Committee and the Advisory Board the persistence of people who either do
not have a basic background in Web Security, people who are consistently
off-topic, and 'trolls' on W3C lists, and find a suitable process for
removing or excluding them (I personally try to use a 'spam' filter, but
new W3C members may not know). If the W3C cannot control the problem of
having a few people overwhelming mailing lists with what is effectively
viewed as spam, then the W3C may even run the risk of being an
unsuitable place for doing standards work due to the high noise-signal
ratio on lists such as the Web Security IG.
cheers,
harry
