The ACL list can be loosely viewed as a design team. I say loosely, since design teams are normally small and closed, and this list is open and free for all to subscribe. It emerged as a way to prevent the main DAV list from being occasionally swamped by ACL discussion. Operationally, actively working members of the DAV WG are subscribed to both the main DAV list and the ACL list, and so the ACL list serves as a convenient partitioning and filtering mechanism for ACL discussions. Of course, all drafts discussed on the ACL list are brought to the main DAV list for WG last call, and for official decisions on consensus. See for example: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-dist-auth/2001AprJun/0313.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-dist-auth/2002AprJun/0088.html - Jim > Process question: what is the ACL list, and why is conversation > on a decision to be made by the working group moving to it? > If this is a design team, pleae note the IESG's statement > on the work of design teams at: > > http://www.ietf.org/IESG/STATEMENTS/Design-Teams.txt > > Thanks for filling me in, > regards, > Ted Hardie
