RE: ACTION-169: Send an email to the dublin core group

Thanks for the note reminding me of
    http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML


However, I will note that that esw Wiki entry does not point to 
   http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html


(it's link to "Decision Policy" instead points
to http://www.w3.org/2007/03/HTML-WG-charter.html#decisions )

and the state there:

# CLOSED = The chairs believe either the WG has resolved the issue (via spec editing) or the issue has been withdrawn. Only the chairs should move issues to 'closed'. Typically moving issues from

is inconsistent with step 2a of  the HTML working group
decision policy, which notes a new state 
"CLOSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE" in which the WG has not
resolved the issue via spec editing, and the issue
has not been withdrawn, but rather, the issue has
timed out from the chair's deadline asking for
a specific change proposal.

Since the working group decision policy (as written
and also in practice) is at odds with what the
Wiki says about ISSUE status, it would be good to
get confirmation about how much of the rest of that
Wiki page is still valid.

Thanks,

Larry

Hi Larry,

HTML WG Tracker definitions are in the Wiki.
http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML

We worked those out when Chris was Chairing.
