For people not routinely picking up surveys from meeting agendas, I want
to draw attention to a proposed update to the AG WG decision policy,
which is in a survey at:
https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/ag-decision-policy-update/
<https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/ag-decision-policy-update/>
This affects everyone in the group, not just people who participate in
teleconferences and success criteria review. The key additions:
* People need to have participated in discussions leading up to a CfC
if they plan to object to the CfC. A CfC should not be used to raise
additional discussion unless unavoidable. (The policy does not
require you to have participated in discussions if you were
temporarily unable to participate, for instance because of illness
or vacation - those are reasonable reasons not to have raised
concerns during a fast-moving discussion, but should be exceptional
situations.)
* Clarify that concerns must be raised in the group's public channels
so other participants can respond during discussion.
* Require additional context for objections, including proposed
alternate path and reasons the objection could not be addressed
during discussion prior to the CfC.
* Provide more information about how chairs will handle objections in
various circumstances.
These proposed changes to the decision policy are not a change of
practice. They simply provide explicit clarification of practices for
decisions.
