Thanks, TAG, for the time today discussing a Director-free W3C. I apologize that my connection was so sporadic, but I think there was a good discussion nonetheless. I expect to see you all at TPAC next week and hope to hear more about your input on the Director-free W3C. There were two items which I think did not get adequate attention, based on the fragments of conversation that I heard. 1. The AB has given considerable thought to best practices for processing Formal Objections. We do not have that in the formal process document, but we have it separately [1]. Your feedback is requested. [1] https://www.w3.org/2019/06/W3C%20Council%20guidelines%20for%20formal-objections.html 2. The question arose how many Formal Objections would go to the W3C Council, but noone had the data handy. PLH has actually studied this [2] based on recent data. It is hard to make exact calculations because processing of FOs in director-free has different empowerment for the Team. Whereas Tim is only involved in about 2 FOs, per year, there will be more FOs that go to the Council in Director-free. That is because Tim has given the Team delegated authority to rule in his behalf (under certain conditions) today, but in Director-free the Team will have no such delegation. If you look at slide 4, we should expect 5+ Formal Objections per year going to the Council. The rest of the presentation is also interesting. [2] https://www.w3.org/2019/08/ab-fos.pdf HTH Jeff
