Hi, The community might like to know that Mozilla has claimed authority to publish a WebAssembly MVP and appears to have done so, and the claim is signed by a Mozilla module peer.
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webassembly/2017Feb/0002.html I claim Mozilla had absolutely no authority to make that declaration as the Chairs of the group were not appointed by a method chosen of the CG as a whole and they had been asked to return the Chair and for elections to be held and the W3C had investigated and appear to support that position - that it was a matter for the group *as a whole* to choose and thus not for Mozilla to dictate. Mozilla did not even seek consensus from the CG in claiming consensus. I was active in this area before the CG was created and was not consulted before it's creation, and have not once been invited to the backroom meetings. No minutes of CG business meetings or technical meetings were posted to the CG. I agree that more implementation experience is needed, the design is not complete, but dispute the conclusion that it is ready to deploy. The web community may well now invest a lot of resources working with a design that is not complete and that will need significant change. It is not simply a matter of adding 'future features' as Mozilla describe, rather the design may need fundamental changes, something you may discover with more 'implementation experience'. I can trivially demonstrate some of these necessary changes, and many of the issues I file were closed unresolved not flagged for future work. I informed the Mozilla CEO that urgent action was necessary and made a time limited offered to the module owner to peer the WebAssembly component without response. The module owner went on the approve the deployment of wasm 1.0. I attempted to escalate the review here following published policies and absolutely no one has offered any defence to my appeals here and yet Mozilla has allowed this to proceed.
