I believe that to be the case. It came from a discussion about Council not wanting to decide which things should be taken to list before they vote on them, so this forces the issue. /K ___ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: standards-unsubscr...@xmpp.org ___

This seems reasonable. By "XEPs which are under the control of Council" do we mean specs that have a status of Draft, Final, or Active (well, I suppose also Deprecated and Obsolete)?

[Standards] Important change of process for changes to XEPs under control of the XMPP Council
Dear list, The recent discussion about a change proposal on a Final spec has brought something to our attention which we think is a problem in our process. Specifically, the discussion about the change happened in the broader community only after the Council had started its voting process. If Council had been unanimous about the change, the change would’ve been applied immediately. In order to avoid lack of community participation in the future, the following change in our process is hereby established: Change proposals to XEPs which are under the control of Council do not get put on the Council agenda before there has been a thread on the standards mailing list. The thread is not required to have reactions or replies, but must be at least 48 hours old at the time the council session starts in order to be considered for voting. I hope you can see how this may improve the discussion culture and the process in general. If you have any questions or concerns, please raise them in reply to this email. We are happy to adapt this change if there are issues with it. kind regards, Jonas Schäfer (Council Chair) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: standards-unsubscr...@xmpp.org ___
