Yeah sorry about that, I didn't realise the bug that I had marked it as a duplicate of hadn't gotten the boilerplate. The text you were _supposed_ to get is: -----8<----- EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html -----8<----- ...and the presence of the TrackerIssue keyword means that the escalation process is ongoing. In fact, as others have noted, the process has progressed to near the state of completion: http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/40318/issue-76-objection-poll/ http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/40318/issue-76-objection-poll/results (This is why I closed the bug; it is counter to our process for there to be an open bug requesting the same as an open tracker issue.) A working group chair decision on the matter is expected probably before the end of the year (the poll ends next Thursday, and the chairs meet on Tuesdays to discuss matters such as this, so one could expect a decision to be announced by the 23rd).
