Re: [webauthn] Explainer or more examples?

charter

That assertion isn’t true. The group’s charter does not prohibit the 
group, as part of its work, from publishing non-normative/informative 
materials (such as an explainer doc) to accompany the normative 
deliverables it is chartered to publishing. No W3C charter prohibits 
that.

But the group is of course not obligated to publish any informative 
materials like this. However if there’s somebody in the group who 
actually has an interest in volunteering to author an explainer, it 
would certainly not be consistent with W3C policy/process for the 
group block them.

The point of this issue and the one I filed is: We look to the members
 of this group for the expertise about their own spec—subject-matter 
expertise on their own work sufficient to explain the work at a high 
level to others who are not subject-matter experts. That’s all the 
being asked for here.

Of course if nobody in the group has interest and time to write an 
explainer, than it’s be find to close this with a statement saying 
that. But it’s not fine to claim it can’t be done because the group’s 
charter prevents the group from working on it and publishing it in 
some form. Because that’s not true.
