Hi list, <editor-hat-on> I published this specification (XEP-0412) ahead of time. The vote of council (which I am embarrassingly part of) has not yet completed.
While the stance of Council (including the member who hasn’t voted yet and me) on this matter was to wait it out and deal with the issue of retraction should the vote be a -1, the Board has decided to prevent to set a precedent by the premature publication, which could be used by the Editor to exert pressure on the not-yet-voted Council members. I personally fully support the decision of the Board. I understand the delicacy of the situation especially since in this play, I’m both the Editor *and* the Author of the specification; I do not want to be seen as someone who would abuse any role like that, so I’m happy to execute the Board’s ruling. I’d also like to sincerely apologize especially to Kev whose vote I have forgotten (actually I was 100% sure that everyone had voted, and only while checking results for other votes I came across the "on list" from Kev :() and to the community for the extra noise and possible temporary confusion and misguidance due to the published compliance suites you had to endure. I’d also like to apologize for not bringing this matter up to Board immediately. The specification has been un-published and replaced with a tombstone XEP (the build is still in progress; the website will thus be updated shortly). It will stay a tombstone should Kevin decide to vote -1, and it will be replaced with the actual XEP again should Kevin decide to vote 1 or 0. </editor-hat-on> kind regards, Jonas
