I apologize that due to the use of Google Hangouts, the fact that I was in China, and poor connectivity (I was driving in a car for much of the session), I did not adequately tee up my issue. Now with more time and space, let me raise the issue more completely. > > It's up to the chair of the TAG to confirm whether these are proper resolutions of the TAG, but they did seem to reflect the consensus of the TAG members in the room, they were each posted on the white board explicitly for consideration by the TAG, and there was an explicit call for consensus prior to each point being marked as resolved. FWIW, the TAG's charter specifically excludes "administrative, process, or organizational policy issues of W3C". https://www.w3.org/2004/10/27-tag-charter.html https://www.w3.org/2019/Process-20190301/#TAG and thus all of those "resolutions" are out of scope for the TAG as a decision-making body. It would be better to drop these formalities and just minute the discussion and opinions presented. The Team, AB, and AC can listen to well-informed opinions without them being listed as TAG resolutions. ....Roy (speaking only as a former TAG member)
