16:44:10 ack susa 16:44:21 susanisrael: want to make sure we understand deadlines 16:44:35 … issue freeze on oct 2, that's still the date? 16:45:13 … change proposal deadline is different, can continue to raise change proposals until issue is closed, or is oct 2 deadline for change proposals too? 16:45:47 schunter: oct 2 is deadline for raising issues 16:46:07 suggestions for changes can be sent at any time, regardless of other processes 16:46:17 … must have one or more initial draft change proposals by oct 2, otherwise issue will be set aside 16:46:29 as described in Phase 2 of the proposed plan http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-tracking/2013Sep/0010.html we would then add change proposals and counter-proposals and if necessary go through those alternatives in a call for objections 16:46:33 … main task will be to work on issues that have more than one possibility on the table as of oct 2 16:46:34 Nick, is it possible to add the ISSUE-# to the change proposals in the wiki? 16:46:52 JackHobaugh, it's already linked from the individual pages, and we'll add it to the overview page as well 16:46:53 … for those issues that are still on the table, more change proposals will be possible after oct 2 16:47:27 … if no consensus emerges, will eventually do call for objections 16:47:33 Thanks, it would be good to be able to see the ISSUE-# in the link. 16:47:35 … want to identify which issues are easy and which hard 16:47:36 q? 16:47:57 any issue the group wants to be addressed needs to have a change proposal by October 2nd 16:48:02 susanisrael: to clarify: you want most of the change proposals by oct 2, but those proposals can evolve later?

I would not object to publication of a WD with Justin's prior definition [in April WD], or with a list of the alternatives that have been proposed." 16:50:35 … sent around document, justin put disclaimers in document saying it is not consensus yet 16:50:53 … would like the group to get feedback into draft and move on to publishing as working draft 16:51:30 … ask everyone to look at draft, suggest any improvements 16:51:40 q+ 16:51:41 q+ 16:51:45 … improvement should be actionable 16:52:05 and to clarify, no need to resubmit change proposals that we already submitted on this WD, correct? 16:52:10 … will have overall disclaimer that document is not consensus, don't need to put it in everywhere 16:52:24 amyc, that's right, we already have change proposals tracked 16:52:37 ... and I'm also helping the editors keep a list of editorial suggestions, which haven't all been made 16:52:38 q? 16:52:41 … input on text of the disclaimer is welcome too 16:52:53 q? 16:52:59 ack fi 16:53:12 fielding: already objected to defn of tracking that is in june draft 16:53:30 … would have been ok with defn from previous working draft 16:53:36 I will resubmit my language as a CHANGE PROPOSAL and have Nick add it to the Wiki. 16:53:45 … have spoken up often about this 16:53:57 … this needs to be fixed before publication as WD 16:54:01 Roy, saying you have an objection is not the same as stating it. I still don't understand what you object to. 16:54:42 schunter: no question that there are some objections to this text, not trying to resolve these all before WD publication 16:54:48 I'm confused, there isn't universal agreement on many sections of the drafts; I don't expect to get to universal agreement before publishing a working draft 16:54:52 thanks justin 16:55:05 … would be useful to have pointers to alternative text in the document 16:55:17 … important to document your suggested text in the wiki 16:55:35 note that the edtor's draft has a link to ISSUE-5 16:55:49 right next to the definition of "tracking" 16:55:50 q? 16:56:08 … do we need to put all proposals into the text, or just refer people to the wiki 16:56:21 Notes that there is a serious editorial error; there are section headings missing after 3.8, so "tracking" is defined in a section labelled "de-identified" 16:56:22 fielding: can't say there are no objections to text or to publishing in current state 16:56:40 … shouldn't have to repeatedly object 16:56:43 FWIW, the wiki already has a different tracking definition from fielding. But I will add my own as well (which is shorter and perhaps simpler). 16:56:49 dsinger, I have a diff to the editors that fixes some of the headings 16:56:56 … change was made without consulting group, better to revert text 16:57:00 q? 16:57:01 Lots of stuff was changed in the June Draft. (?) 16:57:03 what's the chair's response to this? 16:57:04 ack d 16:57:05 schunter: thanks 16:57:09 +1 to David Singer - too many editorial issues with the Swire/W3C Staff (June) Draft for publication at this time. 16:57:12 q+ Aleecia 16:57:17 q+ dwainberg 16:57:24 ack Aleecia 16:57:47 aleecia: disagree with fielding about how tracking should be defined, but agree that both of us have spoken repeatedly for alternatives 16:57:48 q+ 16:57:51 I still have a list of editorial suggestions we need to work through 16:58:00 … frustrating to have to keep re-raising these 16:58:06 volunteers to deal with editorial issues (along with the other editors). 16:58:11 +1 Aleecia 16:58:23 … feels like a waste of time re-raise objection and nothing happens 16:58:26 schunter: thanks 16:58:26 q+ to respond on editorial issues 16:58:32 ack dwainberg 16:58:35 q- later 16:58:54 dwainberg: will there be opportunity to object to publication of text in working draft? 16:58:57 q+ 16:58:59 w/in 31 16:59:10 If Nick has a list of editorial changes, I am happy to do it. I will coordinate with him. But Matthias had suggested we hold off while we were considering publishing as a working draft. 16:59:27 … is that separate from suggesting changes for the oct 2 process? 16:59:29 I think we can re-publish as frequently as we like. Changes now to fix editorial issues, reflect the correct consensus, and so on. CPs/Issues to fix substantive problems? 17:00:07 -WaltMichel 17:00:08 schunter: in WD, can say in text that we don't have consensus on definition of tracking, and point to issue 5 17:00:33 … can follow this approach generally, put notes and wiki-pointers into text where there are disagreements 17:00:38 q- later 17:00:51 … suggest this strategy for dealing with disagreements about proposed WD text 17:01:00 can I try? 17:01:05 yes 17:01:18 dwainberg: on mailing list, I objected to publication of this as WD 17:01:26 q- 17:01:33 … if those objections don't stand, want to understand what the process is regarding WD publication 17:01:37 To clarify, I did not object to the tracking definition not being resolved in the June draft -- I objected to an arbitrarily new definition being added to the draft without agreement from the WG, which is a problem because the new definition is inconsistent with the rest of the WD and vastly increases the scope of DNT. Justin's prior definition wasn't perfect, but at least it was consistent with the WG discussions and the rest of the draft. 17:01:57 … still not clear on what schunter is asking for 17:02:46 dsinger: WD should reflect clearly where there is agreement, where there is disagreement and the nature of the disagreement 17:02:47 q+ 17:03:05 dwainberg: seems like a lot of work to label disagreements and open issues in the proposed WD text 17:03:07 ack thomas 17:03:26 Concrete improvements that I gathered are: 17:03:51 dsinger: for now we can add stuff to WD draft to note disagreements and open issues, but shouldn't litigate the disagreements 17:03:51 - Replace concrete text by pointers to the corresponding text on the wiki 17:03:56 - Add a section heading 17:04:20 dwainberg: prior to publication as WD, editors will add to text links to disagreements and issues? 17:04:30 tlr: already done, if something is missing please tell the editors 17:04:40 Or please tell npdoty who is coordinating all editorial fixes! 17:04:40 - Add a disclaimer that the list of issues is not yet complete and new issues can be done by [Deadline] 17:04:54 … can re-publish WD if we need to make minor editorial changes later 17:05:17 … not a requirement that there be consensus on the text, text says explicitly that nobody particularly endorses it 17:05:25 Thomas, respectfully, it seems odd to be so tied to process at this point when the document itself was generated outside of standard process. 17:05:31 tlr, you sound angry? 17:05:50 … let's move from process discussion to suggestions of specific changes to make it publishable as WD, 17:06:06 … that is, places where issues are not noted in the text 17:06:18 I believe the issues aren't with the process "at this point", but rather, issues are still attached to the initial development of this document outside of standard process. 17:06:25 … WD is not an indication of consensus, should be very clear on that 17:06:32 chris_iab, I don't think so 17:06:34 zakim, mute me 17:06:34 Thomas should now be muted 17:06:43 schunter: got valuable feedback on this call, will channel to the editors 17:07:09 … plan to do all necessary text fixes to publish next draft in a week or so 17:07:34 … is one week enough to get necessary text fixes in place? 17:07:45 … just editorial fixes 17:07:45 As I understand Roy's and Aleecia's objections to the definition of tracking in the working draft, they are concerned that , the current definition is NOT a reflection of the group's work--not just that it does not represent consensus. Roy, correct? 17:07:53 To be clear, the definition of tracking in the June draft is not an accurate presentation of the WG's discussions 17:08:04 tlr, just sounded that way, as you are normally very calm and collected 17:08:35 I agree to fielding 17:08:36 dwainberg: can we have two weeks? 17:08:39 fielding, there's a link to issue-5 there. 17:08:41 dsinger: need to get this out the door 17:08:53 … most recent published WD is very old, misleading 17:09:05 what's the particular urgency? 17:09:15 Is W3C Editor's Draft 06 September 2013 the version we are discussing now? 17:09:21 schunter: will email the list, asking for changes in time for new draft next week 17:09:39 qq? 17:09:39 JackHobaugh, yes 17:09:40 q? 17:09:40 … will get changes implemented within two weeks 17:09:44 ack np 17:09:44 npdoty, you wanted to respond on editorial issues 17:09:45 JackHobaugh, I think it's the "June Draft" that Swire made up (to Roy's good point) 17:10:16 npdoty: saw questions on IRC, suggestions for editorial fixes 17:10:35 … have been noting those, will work on getting them into document 17:10:38 I believe all of the open issues noted in the pre-Swire/W3C Staff (June) Draft need to be pulled forward before something is published. Am I hearing correctly that everyone agrees and that will occur prior to publication? 17:10:57 … happy to help manage the collation of edits 17:11:08 The issues designated in the Sep 6 Editors' Draft do not appear to match up with the 23 open issues. There are extra issues and issues missing. 17:11:16 I don't understand your point WileyS. 17:11:34 schunter: move on to ISSUE-2 and ISSUE-4 17:11:44 Open issues are noted in the June draft. I suspect you're referring to something else though, 17:11:47 that's issue 214, I believe 17:12:08 issue-214? 17:12:08 issue-214 -- Adding to last public working draft -- raised 17:12:08 http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/track/issues/214 17:12:16 … issues suggest grabbing useful text from old draft, transplant into new draft 17:12:20 The currently public working draft has many issues highlighted within the document. I'm suggesting these need to be pulled forward into the Swire/W3C Staff (June) Draft prior to publication (many open issues aren't in there). 17:12:26 s/ISSUE-2 and ISSUE-4/ISSUE-214/ 17:12:34 … how to best organize this process 17:12:36 q+ to suggest a companion document 17:12:38 JackHobaugh, justin -- I believe the issues in the current editors' draft are links to issues that were up to date as of mid-June, when I was last asked to do that update 17:13:00 … perhaps should break up the big ISSUE-214 into smaller actionable suggestions 17:13:19 Justin - it appeared several were missing - I'll double check 17:13:27 … easier to implement and decide on smaller pieces 17:13:31 WileyS, I believe the editors' draft was updated by me at the group's request to include all the open issues as of June (which should be up-to-date with the issues in the April 30th Working Draft) 17:13:43 … turn the one issue into, say, 15-20 issues 17:13:56 … then can discuss issue by issue in the normal way 17:14:06 WileyS, I see. I probably wrote those so don't object on principle! But there is a general statement that nothing is consensus, and all the extra language might make the document less readable. Don't feel terribly strongly though. 17:14:06 … problem is how to go about doing this 17:14:14 q? 17:14:20 … how should we organize ourselves 17:14:34 q? 17:14:39 ack dsi 17:14:39 dsinger, you wanted to suggest a companion document 17:14:44 … if we nothing about this, ISSUE-214 would require a specific set of edits to implement it 17:15:04 dsinger: last draft was hard to read because normative requirements were hidden in non-normative text 17:15:28 … was hard to discuss because we spent a lot of time on data that wasn't normative 17:15:45 … perhaps keep an annex or separate document for useful non-normative material 17:16:07 … would that take the pressure off the document, by letting text stay alive in the annex? 17:16:11 q? 17:16:19 … is this a useful approach? 17:16:19 +1, I like this idea 17:16:27 +1 17:16:33 [crickets] 17:16:52 I suggested an appendix regarding some of the non-normative text for possible techniques (from jmayer's draft in particular) in the past, but a separate document sounds good too 17:17:01 +1 cricket 17:17:03 tlr, when an editor's draft contains a change that the WG (in this case, the vast majority of the WG) disagrees with, the right procedure is to revert that change or make it a set of alternatives prior to WD publication. That is the process that the chairs insisted *I* adhere to, so I expect the chairs and W3C staff to adhere to it as well. If you don't, then I need to start removing references to TCS from TPE. 17:17:11 -rachel_n_thomas 17:17:13 schunter: suggestion to have a separate section of non-normative text for each normative section 17:17:22 q? 17:17:28 … other opinions? 17:17:30 q+ 17:17:52 npdoty: is it helpful to push out a draft of that? 17:17:53 to Roy, I think you are overstating things somewhat 17:17:53 to fielding: this is actually a good suggestion for the next release of the WD. 17:17:56 … does group support it?

17:22:30 +q 17:22:38 ack just 17:22:51 justin: june draft was proposed as simpler distillation of existing draft 17:23:09 … all of june draft text is alternative phrasing of stuff in the old text 17:23:15 Proposal: Empty outline of june draft as wiki and people can import essential non-normative text into this outline. 17:23:22 … doesn't make sense to just paste old-draft text alongside the new text 17:23:25 except for non-normative text, right? 17:23:30 … suggest going the issues-and-proposals route 17:23:38 although that might be better in a companion-style document anyway 17:23:41 … people can propose adding old text to new doc 17:23:42 Oh, I misunderstood. 17:23:51 … or propose replacing new text with older text 17:24:10 schunter: this transplantation discussion is just for non-normative text 17:24:12 q?
