This is just a reminder that Google Docs are not archival [1], and they are
not easily accessible from China, and therefore are not an appropriate way to
maintain or publish working group records.
So while it might be OK to draft things in Google Docs or similar external
services, it's not really OK to leave them there assuming they'll be there
indefinitely.
Please make sure a copy of agendas, minutes, proposals, and other working
group materials are stored by W3C--either on the W3C website, in a mailing
list archive [2], or in a W3C-backed GitHub repository--and linked
appropriately so that they can be found as easily as the temporary draft.
This makes sure that working group materials can be accessed by our whole
community now and in the future. Thanks!!
