Publishing a Rec
Clarify the process of moving from CR to REC
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- Document life cycle (pre 2014 chapter 7, now chapter 6)
- Raised by:
- Ian Jacobs
- Opened on:
- 2013-12-12
- Description:
- This needs to be made clearer. There are some assumptions about a document becoming a provisionally approved REC, while the AC review is ongoing, but they are not at all clear in the document - is there a new publication? Is there (typically) a director's call? ...

Related notes:
The discussion in the 3 February TF meeting noted the following:
1. as discussed last week, we will re-instate Proposed Recommendation as the signal that the document is done and the AC has 4 weeks to complete its review.
2. We will define a process to "re-issue" a CR (in 7.4.1) and this will replace "repeat the full process of publication" for substantive changes in 7.4.
3. Per the W3C Patent Policy, a re-issue will trigger a new Patend Exclusion opportunity.
4. Entry into this re-issue process will require the Directors Approval, but this is expected to be delegated to the Team Contact who has responsibility for issuing the Call for Exclusions.
The changes necessary to resolve this issue were made in the 5 February editor's draft https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/AB/raw-file/default/tr.html
