I agree it would be good to get broad review of the proposed FPWD and the formal publication will trigger a related note on both w3.org and the weekly Public newsletter. Please note there is certainly a precedence for a WG to not have unanimous agreement regarding the entire "substance" of a FPWD. Regarding a WG Note, that doesn't seem appropriate in this case since the WG's plan of record (Charter) is to create a Recommendation for this spec. -Regards, Art Barstow > > Nikunj Mehta > > [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009AprJun/ > 0131.html > [2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009AprJun/ > 0136.html > [3] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009AprJun/ > 0137.html > > On Apr 2, 2009, at 12:59 PM, Arthur Barstow wrote: > >> This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to publish the First Public >> Working Draft of the specs below. >> >> As with all of our CfCs, positive response is preferred and >> encouraged and silence will be assumed to be assent.
