Regarding the Document license, the charter should be enough I hope. See section 8 Document License of the HTML Charter: [[ The DOM4 specification is also a candidate for the Dual License. ]] http://www.w3.org/2013/09/html-charter.html Regarding the plan for spec editor, my current understanding is that the HTML Chairs will send a call for editors in the HTML Working Group. > My > expectation is that www-dom will continue to be used for DOM4 so please > confirm that too. This is also my expectation. Philippe
