Based on off-list feedback, I'm planning to submit the following comment (as a "suggests changes to this Charter, and only supports the proposal if the changes are adopted [Formal Objection]"): -David ----- As previously reported at https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-charter/issues/51 we believe the following piece of the charter is problematic: The highest priority of the group in this charter period will be to get the core recommendations progressed towards Recommendation status. To that end, features that are not demonstrated to be implemented by at least two browsers withih the timeframes indicated will be removed from the specifications. Depending on their nature, they may be republished as extension specification, or simply dropped. for the following reasons: 1. We don't believe the plan for this procedure has the consensus of the working group. 2. This reflects a reversal of the basic understanding that we would make decisions on a consensus basis. We don't have a problem with the WG deciding to remove features, but that should be a WG decision, with holding the spec until there is consensus on how to proceed as an option. 3. This is particularly problematic in WebRTC, which is explicitly a collaboration with IETF, and thus decisions need to be made jointly. ----- -- 𝄞 L.
