FYI: First Public Working Draft of Web Payments Use Cases
Dear Web Apps Working Group, On 16 April 2015, the W3C Web Payments Interest Group [1] published: Web Payments Use Cases 1.0 http://www.w3.org/TR/web-payments-use-cases/ This document is a prioritized list of Web payments use cases. Guided by these use cases, the W3C Web Payments Interest Group plans to derive architecture and associated technology requirements to integrate payments into the Open Web Platform. We invite your feedback on public-webpayments-comme...@w3.org to help us improve the document. Please note that comments sent to that list are publicly archived [2]. The Interest Group holds its next face-to-face meeting 16-18 June when we plan to process early feedback on this draft. Any feedback you have by early June would be greatly appreciated. We will also let you know about opportunities for early feedback on subsequent documents (architecture and requirements). To learn more about this group's goals and the anticipated benefits of improved payments on the Web, please see: https://www.w3.org/Payments/IG/wiki/ExecSummary Thank you, Ian Jacobs, W3C Web Payments Activity Lead [1] http://www.w3.org/Payments/IG/ [2] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webpayments-comments/ -- Ian Jacobs i...@w3.org http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 718 260 9447

CORRECTION [Was: Call for Exclusions: W3C DOM4]
Dear WebApps Working Group Advisory Committee Representative, Please ignore this call for exclusions for DOM4 (which is published exclusively by the HTML Working Group).

W3C Launches Patent Advisory Group for Push API
Web Apps Working Group, A moment ago I announced the launch of the Push API PAG to the W3C Membership. Below I paste the message I sent. Ian Jacobs, Head of W3C Communications In accordance with the W3C Patent Policy, W3C has launched a Patent Advisory Group (PAG) to advise the W3C on patent disclosures relating to a specification developed by the Web Applications Working Group: Push API http://www.w3.org/TR/push-api/ For information about these patent disclosures, see: http://www.w3.org/2013/03/push-pag-charter Advisory Committee Representatives of W3C Member organizations participating in the Web Applications Working Group should use the following form to designate alternate(s): https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/33280/PAPAG/ Additional information is available on the PAG home page: http://www.w3.org/2013/papag/ If you have any questions about this PAG, please contact the PAG Chair, Wendy Seltzer wselt...@w3.org or Team Contact Yves Lafon yla...@w3.org.

Re: [widgets] HTML5 dependency blocking Widget Interface Proposed Recommendation
On 19 Apr 2012, at 7:48 AM, Arthur Barstow wrote: Hi All, As I understand it, the W3C's publication precedence re normative references for a Proposed Recommendation, is that all W3C normative references must be at CR or a later maturity level. With today's publication of a CR of Web IDL [WebIDL-CR], the only W3C normative reference in the Widget Interface Candidate Recommendation [TWI-CR] that is not at CR or later is HTML5. Philippe, Ian - my understanding is that if the WG can show its uses of HTML5 are restricted to stable parts of the HTML5 spec, the Director will relax this publication precedence i.e. the Widget Interface may be published as a Proposed Recommendation. Is this correct? This is my expectation: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2011JulSep/0092.html Ian Marcos - would you please enumerate the CR's uses of HTML5 and state whether each usage is to a stable part of HTML5? -Thanks, AB [TWI-CR] http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/CR-widgets-apis-20111213/ [WebIDL-CR] http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/CR-WebIDL-20120419/ -- Ian Jacobs (i...@w3.org)http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs/ Tel: +1 718 260 9447

So I misread the process. It seems to be come down to telling the W3C about significant issues, which I have done. What else is there in http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr#rec-rescind that I missed? The Advisory Board, based on input from various groups, put in a 4-week review process so that people could say Yes, please do! or No, please don't for the following reasons... The steps are, roughly: 1) Someone asks the Director to rescind. 2) The Director announces a 4-week AC + public review 3) The Director reviews the data and there's a decision either way. The question is: who gets to ask the Director. I think the case would be made most strongly by a Working Group, especially if that Working Group is the one that published the spec to begin with. Which is the best WG to make this request to the Director? Ian -- Ian Jacobs (i...@w3.org)http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs/ Tel: +1 718 260 9447

Thanks for letting me know, In the intervening years this changed a little (my apologies for getting back to you so late). I think the note could read: The ideas described in this document are abandoned as they have not seen sufficient adoption. The 'document' and 'defaultView' attributes still exist and are now defined by HTML5. Ian, do you think we should maybe have such a note for DOM Level 3 Core as well given that implementors should really look at DOM Core instead? If we really want to rescind a Recommendation, we should do that through the process defined for that. If we want to update people on where to find more recent information (but still the current specification is still valid for some cases) then we can probably add a status update.

I think we all realize you have issues with the W3C's TR process. I actually agree with some of your view points [at least as I understand them ;-)] and I think they should be discussed with a different set of people then WebApps. For instance, the so-called Advisory Board [AdvBrd] manages the evolution of the W3C Process Document, yet I suspect very few of them are subscribed to public-webapps. So, rather than continuing to complain about this process on public-webapps, I would appreciate it if you would please move TR process type discussions to another Public list. IJ, PLH - what Public list is appropriate for discussions about the TR process? There is no list with a public archive. One thing to do is use process-issues and cc www-archive if you wish.
