Hi Ian,
I won't press you any further,
but will say that I am disappointed that the W3C does not appear to
have the strength of leadership to directly explain its role in the
development of HTML.
Hi Steve,
I propose we chat by phone. That will help me understand what you may
be seeking. Want to schedule (offlist) time to chat?
Ian
This reluctance only serves to promote the perception that now, the
W3C only plays a peripheral role in the development of HTML, while
the core responsibility and influence over the continuing
development of HTML is in the hands of the WHAT WG.
If The W3C top brass do ever come to the realisation that those who
give their time to the development of HTML at the W3C, deserve a
clear explanation. I can assure you it will be appreciated

Hi Steve,
Apologies for not answering here as well. I did answer in your
question on the W3C blog:
http://www.w3.org/QA/2011/02/last_year_i_published_several.html#c214182
where I wrote:
"Today W3C announced the extension of the HTML Working Group. The
press release we issued speaks to some of these issues: http://www.w3.org/2011/02/htmlwg-pr.html
"
Hope that helps and thanks for checking back,
_ Ian

Dear all,
There has been much discussion[1] about HTML/HTML5 over the past few
weeks due to the HTML5 logo and the WHATWG changing the name and
stripping the vestiges of HTML versioning.
The WHATWG have clearly stated the rationale for the formalisation
of the WHAT WG HTML - living standard, one that includes the
devaluation of the W3C spec development model.
What has been and is clearly missing from this public discourse is
the clear articulation (by the W3C) of the role of the W3C in HTML
development and the value proposition of the specification process
used by the W3C for HTML5.
Please provide a clear expalnation of the role of the W3C in the
continuing development of HTML
Hello Steve,
I plan to follow up with you on this next Monday.
