Hi Ivan, Tzviya, and Wendy, please correct me if I'm wrong:

As per current W3C Process's Revising a Recommendation: Editorial 
Changes ( 
https://www.w3.org/policies/process/20231103/#revised-rec-editorial ):

 >If there is no Working Group chartered to maintain a Recommendation, 
the Team may republish the Recommendation with such changes 
incorporated, including errata and Team corrections.

Errata include correction classes 1-3. I believe the changes discussed 
in this thread ( 
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/semantic-web/2025Mar/0045.html ) 
for https://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-primer/ fall under correction class 2 ( 
https://www.w3.org/policies/process/20231103/#class-2 ):

 >Changes that do not functionally affect interpretation of the document

I also believe that the reasons for these changes - raised with general 
consensus by multiple community members - are not merely technical but 
extend to expected professional practice, as outlined in the Positive 
Work Environment at W3C: Code of Conduct ( 
https://www.w3.org/policies/code-of-conduct/ ).

I suspect the broader W3C and standards community would welcome the 
changes discussed in this thread, and I'm sure there's a way to make it 
work within the process. However, if this is not deemed a class 2 
change, it would be great to have AB's advice on this.

Irrespective of the actual path forward (whether editorial, through a 
Working Group, or otherwise), it might help the community to set up a 
workspace where the proposal can take shape (e.g., 
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-owl-comments/ and GitHub?). 
Would you be able to follow up on this in 
https://github.com/w3c/strategy/ or coordinate with the Team elsewhere?

Thanks!
