Yes, that seems like a reasonable thing to do and if there are no non-resolvable objections to doing so, I will request that redirection is done. > According to Art the plan of record is to still pursue > https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/xhr/raw-file/default/xhr-1/Overview.html Yes, that is still the group's plan of record (per the charter [2]). > but that was last updated more than a year ago.

As is the case with all of the group's specs, if we no longer have sufficient interest and commitments (editing, implementation, testing, etc.) to continue to move a spec toward Recommendation status, then such a spec should be published as WG Note, work stopped and the charter updated to reflect that new status. In the case of XHR L1, indeed the ED has not changed in over a year, although there is still some active work on the XHR test suite [3]. As far as I know, the editors are still committed to move that spec to Recommendation and unless I hear otherwise, I presume the consensus of the group is to continue to include XHR L1 in the group's charter. However, if the Editors and/or other participants recommend otherwise, I would appreciate it, if they would please voice their opinion. (BTW, the test results data [4] was last updated in October 2014. Perhaps it would be useful to get some new data. Any volunteer(s)?) -Thanks, ArtB [1] <http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/NOTE-XMLHttpRequest2-20141118/> [2] <http://www.w3.org/2014/06/webapps-charter.html> [3] <https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/tree/master/XMLHttpRequest> [4] <http://jungkees.github.io/XMLHttpRequest-test/>
