Subject: [EXT] CFC - ACT rules update

Call For Consensus — ends 20th December at mid-day Boston time.



The Working Group has discussed a change to the ACT Rules:
https://www.w3.org/TR/act-rules-aspects/



The ACT TF has made two (minor) changes to it, which allows them to take some repeating content out of several existing rules.

This would result in a republication of the same document, not a version number change.

If you have concerns about this proposed consensus position that have not been discussed already and feel that those concerns result in you “not being able to live with” this decision, please let the group know before the CfC deadline.

Kind regards,

-Alastair
