- Brent: we've invited you here to ask for your feedback on ways to shape the process
- 05:46:46 [amy]
- ... we are officially running this under Chatham House rules
- 05:47:08 [amy]
- .. so no attribution. please raise your hand to q.
- 05:47:13 [ota]

- 05:47:49 [amy]
- if you have been involved in W3C, have some emotional attachment, and someone says something not nice about process
- 05:48:09 [amy]
- ... you may be tempted to be defensive, or say "that's the intent" or "that's not in the process"
- 05:48:19 [amy]
- ... my suggestion is we not be in that mode but rather listen
- 05:48:26 [amy]
- .. and internalize feedback in a structured way
- 05:49:15 [amy]
- ... example: support public transit. answer: thank you for the feedback and I will take it in the spirit it was mean
- 05:49:29 [amy]
- s/mean/meant
- 05:49:41 [amy]
- .. there are a lot of opinions. it's ok if brainstorming produces flatly contradictory ideas
- 05:49:54 [amy]
- .. we want all the ideas. it's ok if we don't come up with/ a coherent idea in an hour
- 05:49:58 [amy]
- ... we're not solutioning
- 05:50:07 [amy]
- ... all ideas are welcome and useful
- 05:50:27 [amy]
- ... Process doc is quite long. if you want to see it printed, it's impressively long
- 05:50:44 [amy]
- .. so we're not looking at a small slice. might be chartering. or maybe you've done member submission
- 05:51:04 [amy]
- .. if there's an unusual concern you have expereicne w/ let us know
- 05:51:30 [amy]
- .. we have 3 questions: how would you improve the process, what are proririte, are there processes you use elsewhere you'd recommend
- 05:51:31 [ota]
- ota has joined #w3process
- 05:51:37 [amy]
- .. if you have something ot say, say it. Quacker style

- 05:52:15 [amy]
- .... I think W3C is more mature that most orgs. not many have the level of detail and thought
- 05:52:35 [amy]
- .. that's not bad. good for us. but for source of inspriration others might be bare minimum
- 05:52:52 [amy]
- .. i don't mind it's long, as long as it says what it needs. I don't think it's in a bad state
- 05:53:16 [amy]
- .. one gripe, I put this in GH too, any change that encourage groups to feel it's ok to target a rec track spec
- 05:53:23 [amy]
- .. as permanent CR is an anti-pattern
- 05:53:37 [amy]
- .. what they're trying to do is get a spec w/ w3c logo that's not in end state
- 05:53:51 [amy]
- .. I think that's a waste of time. they're using a lot of effort.
- 05:54:07 [amy]
- .. without having the right goal in mind. there's nothing wrong with/ any rec. should be easy to update
- 05:54:10 [tantek]
- present+
- 05:54:11 [amy]
- .. make it easy to update

- 05:54:38 [amy]
- ... i am fine w/ the length. i'm rather new. one thing I find weird is there's no consideration on versioning
- 05:54:51 [amy]
- .. every rec goes through same process even with a small change
- 05:55:20 [amy]
- ... eg: 1.1. but efforts the same. we gave up to do small updates. then we move to only big effort. it's the same effort, all implememtions and features tested again
- 05:55:26 [amy]
- .. i find that a bit weird
- 05:55:40 [amy]
- ... just to join the 2 comments, one thing yes, and
- 05:55:52 [amy]
- .. yes and i think think there's view where it should work for everyone
- 05:56:03 [amy]
- .. that doesn't necessarily force us into these diff status for specs
- 05:56:18 [amy]
- .. but rather insist on underlying principles. PP, wide review, implementation
- 05:56:29 [amy]
- .. that's the 3 pillars. and consensus building that exists at w3c
- 05:56:37 [amy]
- .. w/out necessarily tying to a work flow that's complicated now
- 05:56:51 [amy]
- .. in that you have the ability to do things at diff version levels
- 05:57:07 [amy]
- .. you can have a rec and update a rec. it's a bit clunky w/ the levels
- 05:57:16 [amy]
- .. there are some where you can go back to a maturity level
- 05:57:27 [amy]
- .. or create another version, 1.1. or 2.0 and then start from scratch. i
- 05:57:43 [amy]
- .. it's strange to start from scratch as it's iterating from something
- 05:57:57 [amy]
- ... right now there's none of these paths are easy. could be smoothed
- 05:58:16 [amy]
- .. would be nice to have a story to enforce principles. w different ways, none of which are easy to implement
- 05:58:29 [amy]
- .. one minor point, not sure process or practice. when you do that journey
- 05:58:39 [amy]
- .. and you end up w/ something w/ short name. diff version
- 05:59:03 [amy]
- .. one thing is that it's really confusing what's most recent. latest rec or the replacement rec. there are places where the links don't work
- 05:59:22 [amy]
- ... let's not try to answer that, just gather feedback
- 05:59:35 [amy]
- ... something I've observed is that the process provides uniformity w/ WG
- 05:59:43 [amy]
- .. if you have, then you know how to do work in another
- 05:59:53 [Ian]
- Ian has joined #w3process
- 05:59:57 [Ian]
- ls
- 05:59:59 [amy]
- .. a lot that's the same is stuff we've all done for while. sometimes things the same
- 06:00:07 [amy]
- .. are basically the same text in charters, we use the same template
- 06:00:11 [Ian]
- -> https://www.w3.org/guide/editor/versioning.html Version management in W3C Tech reports
- 06:00:16 [amy]
- .. i wonder as a big idea, not specific. there are differences
- 06:00:24 [amy]
- .. they have their own working mode, quirks
- 06:00:33 [amy]
- .. the line between what's uniform and what can vary is a knob to turn
- 06:00:49 [amy]
- ...we have comparison eg: ECMA has a different knob,
- 06:01:03 [Ian]
- q+
- 06:01:13 [amy]
- .. different place. we might copy-paste into docs. if there's stuff in charter template into process if they are uniform/
- 06:01:24 [amy]
- .. the link to charter, process and practice are variables we can fiddle with
- 06:01:34 [amy]
- .. we should consider fiddling w/
- 06:01:55 [amy]
- @ from ECMA did a session. ECMA standardizes stuff. W3C is trying to create a coherent platform
- 06:02:03 [amy]
- .. there 'might be reasons that there's uniformity
- 06:02:05 [Ian]
- ack me
- 06:02:24 [amy]
- I received feed back by someone not able to attend. ITEF provides uniformity
- 06:02:38 [amy]
- .. that they find useful eg; page by group to find minute, documents etc
- 06:02:42 [amy]
- . .and we do not have that
- 06:02:45 [amy]
- It's not he process
- 06:02:54 [amy]
- it's a knob that could be turned
- 06:03:15 [amy]
- my CG has existed for 5 years, we're going through process of WG
- 06:03:28 [amy]
- ... from a CG i had no idea how to get a sense of how groups are doing things
- 06:03:38 [cyns]
- cyns has joined #w3process
- 06:03:42 [amy]
- .. it involved going to each group and find their resources to find what parts we wanted to steal
- 06:04:05 [amy]
- .. the next step to WB has been easier as I understand the work. but it's similar thing eg: deliverables,
- 06:04:09 [DKA]
- DKA has joined #w3process
- 06:04:11 [DKA]
- q?
- 06:04:24 [amy]
- .. or a set of provisions. my impression is that wrt deliverable, groups have moved toward living standard
- 06:04:45 [amy]
- .. approach. and i'm not sure of the reasoning. but for our group, we felt a living standard made sense
- 06:04:57 [amy]
- .. eg: so a long standing CR. that's how we accomplish objectives
- 06:05:37 [amy]
- (a reminder if you've been involved in process to not try to respond to comments, to correct. we are looking forward to not have pushback but to bring comments)
- 06:05:55 [amy]
- On the discussion vs. uniformity, w3c used to be unform. they were the same/
- 06:06:12 [amy]
- ... there was no policy. there's a bit in the process. it could be in it, we could turn the knob more or less
- 06:06:18 [amy]
- we have a system of tools to do work
- 06:06:38 [amy]
- ... those are manifestations of how we do the process. the process is an activity and here's how we do it
- 06:06:46 [amy]
- .. there's been a diversification of tools
- 06:07:04 [amy]
- ... not too far on a limb to say, 15 years ago w3c tooling was way better than any other SDO
- 06:07:20 [amy]
- .. today not sure i can say taht. not a critique. the world has been moving, not sure we've kept up
- 06:07:51 [amy]
- my focus is on a11y and we have discussed how to get ppl to think about it earlier
- 06:08:07 [amy]
- .. same for priv or sec. sometimes when it comes, it's too late to add a11y to it
- 06:08:21 [amy]
- .. we've been considering how to get it earlier. this come in product development too
- 06:08:43 [amy]
- .. how to get this in process, templates or like when a CG starts, that's when they need advice on a11y etc
- 06:08:51 [Ian]
- q+
- 06:09:09 [amy]
- .. not when they go to CR. not sure tools for that, but it would be useful to get TAG principles, things covered in reviews early in the process
- 06:09:31 [amy]
- to reinforce, i was gathering feedback in another group and they said it would be great to get feedback earlier
- 06:09:55 [amy]
- that was something that came up in design review in TAG. ti was a bit demoralizing
- 06:09:56 [DKA]
- q?
- 06:10:06 [amy]
- .. but it would be "looks like you checked check marks"
- 06:10:14 [DKA]
- ack Ian
- 06:10:17 [amy]
- it should be not just fixing bugs but it can't influence design
- 06:10:34 [amy]
- some high level design ideas. i'm doing a strategic objective on how we think .
- 06:10:53 [amy]
- .. one idea re: a comment made, for process for w3c what are core principles for how we design it
- 06:11:00 [amy]
- if pl have ideas, they can mention tthem
- 06:11:16 [amy]
- yes. but a minimal set of principles. I'd love to hear thoughts
- 06:11:32 [amy]
- .. tension between breaking into things. eg: TAG and AB vs. what a chair needs
- 06:11:51 [amy]
- .. how to modularize it. eg: how to and Guide. there's also usability etc
- 06:12:01 [amy]
- .. someone said "3 page process doc' and
- 06:12:12 [amy]
- ECMA's equivalent is @
- 06:12:24 [amy]
- We could reduce the process in a variety of ways if that's the goal
- 06:12:42 [amy]
- .. we can have in one place, or have links. it's not just UX but it's about how things evolve
- 06:13:04 [amy]
- I'd appreciate not to read AB or chairs. I just want registry. the level of changes for recs is not there,
- 06:13:08 [amy]
- .. would have been good
- 06:13:21 [amy]
- an idea, it was mentioned charter template. i thought about registries as we'll
- 06:13:37 [amy]
- .. when we introduced registries we left some walls and let ppl figure it out
- 06:13:51 [amy]
- .. i made a template for registries. may be a concept between process and guide
- 06:14:16 [amy]
- .. of standard practice. we could specificy register and then let ppl do it and see if there was convergence
- 06:14:21 [aki]
- aki has joined #w3process
- 06:14:31 [amy]
- ... that we could turn into standard practice. fi not, then maybe dont' need it
- 06:14:39 [amy]
- .. maybe there are other candidates
- 06:14:57 [aki]
- q+
- 06:14:58 [amy]
- Fascinating to hear themes. everything touched on here, has been touched on a in a group
- 06:15:03 [DKA]
- q?
- 06:15:14 [amy]
- For a template, i learned about them from a breakout, otherwise i'd have no way to learn it
- 06:15:29 [DKA]
- ack aki
- 06:15:31 [amy]
- .. it wasn't listed, you can't find it in the search engine
- 06:15:48 [amy]
- I want to take a moment to endorse this.
- 06:16:02 [amy]
- .. the thing about the process doc that we came to a conclusion on is that one thing w3c is doing is
- 06:16:11 [amy]
- .. that others are not is driving to a coherent set of goals
- 06:16:26 [amy]
- .. ECMA has short goals. we spend a year w/ the scope of a TC.
- 06:16:46 [amy]
- .. then it's up to chairs. anti completive rules, notes etc. it's not driving toward a single coherent platform or goal
- 06:16:54 [amy]
- .. doesn't need level of detail
- 06:17:08 [amy]
- .. when it's at ECMA it goes to GA, they say it makes sense and publish it
- 06:17:25 [amy]
- .. as imperfect as it might be, W3C process doc, it does provide guidance
- 06:17:33 [amy]
- .. ECMA's guide is 500 pages
- 06:17:51 [amy]
- To riff on something you said, we work at diff companies w/ diff processes
- 06:18:00 [amy]
- .. about jointing or protesting about a group
- 06:18:18 [amy]
- .. one bit of feedback i get is that ppl want to see crisp scope. they often don't care about anything else
- 06:18:39 [amy]
- .. that' s hurdle, scope. so it's not like everything can be defined. maybe that's all a charter needs
- 06:18:54 [amy]
- I love this idea. what's interesting is scope. a yes and
- 06:19:09 [amy]
- .. it's interesting you talk about scope. we thought CG would be easy
- 06:19:27 [amy]
- .. .eg: Incubator CG we thought one big group so no one had to ask lawyers and it's just one big group
- 06:19:46 [amy]
- .. strong relationship between docs. has diff IPR, more tolerable ethan WG
- 06:19:58 [amy]
- .. some anti pattern. if we thought of a super group mentality
- 06:20:06 [amy]
- .. w3c had 5 supergroups. rechartering could go away
- 06:20:18 [amy]
- .. that super group has scope they can do whatever. no recharter
- 06:20:29 [amy]
- .. would a super group w/ well defined scope, could go on
- 06:20:33 [amy]
- What would SG be?
- 06:20:45 [amy]
- How's that different than a domain?
- 06:21:03 [amy]
- I'm thinking of scope IPR friction. i don't have specific topics. that would be highly politic
- 06:21:11 [amy]
- WebApps thinks its doing that
- 06:21:17 [amy]
- So does CSS
- 06:21:27 [DKA]
- s/webapps/webappsec
- 06:21:27 [amy]
- You could combine cSS and SVG
- 06:21:33 [amy]
- Those are interesting ideas
- 06:21:48 [amy]
- I have direct exp w/ a group in the EU broadcasting system
- 06:21:57 [amy]
- .. smart media, distrirubiton and spectrum
- 06:22:12 [amy]
- ... one thing it does is creates a place where you need someone in charge
- 06:22:23 [amy]
- .. what that person does is entirely vague. they don't do anytihing.
- 06:22:53 [amy]
- .. it's a gathering place. a reporting mechanism. someone who wants alignment. but they can't bc they are dependant o chairs underneath
- 06:23:07 [amy]
- .. if you do that, you need a really clear reason why. and really think out what's the reason to create a SG
- 06:23:25 [amy]
- .. and what do you want to get out. how do you expect ppl to get out of it
- 06:23:44 [amy]
- For stable areas you might use it. but for new areas, might offer oppruntiy
- 06:23:50 [nigel]
- s/EU broadcasting system/European Broadcasting Union
- 06:23:57 [amy]
- This is interesting. i spit standards time here and ITEF. they've done this
- 06:24:11 [amy]
- .. structure is we have diff areas. real time, security. i only pay attention to a few
- 06:24:26 [amy]
- .. one person over area. and assist chair and group.
- 06:24:43 [amy]
- .. another thought is there's a need for a group have scope. to say what working on
- 06:24:57 [amy]
- .. w3c has a tightly constrained timeline. good and bad. hopefully helps ppl get work done
- 06:25:24 [amy]
- .. but does it? it needs a siituatoin where HR ppl can't do it, and then i'm slammed, but can't get to it
- 06:25:44 [amy]
- .. if no end point but scope of work. that takes care of it. if you get review, have to change things in HR
- 06:25:53 [amy]
- .. takes away fear of review
- 06:26:10 [amy]
- Maybe why CG take time and give to WG. bc CG doesn't have deadline
- 06:26:21 [amy]
- Do most groups feel that pressure. CSS WG we have to recharter
- 06:26:35 [amy]
- .. everyone assumes of course ewe'll recharter. do others feel it?
- 06:26:52 [amy]
- I'v never thought charter end date was other than date. deliverables are aspirational
- 06:27:03 [amy]
- The sound of them whooshing by
- 06:27:08 [amy]
- The groups i've been in felt they did matter
- 06:27:16 [amy]
- Context dependent
- 06:27:51 [amy]
- Talks w/ ppl that the charter end date is a forcing function and as members are heavily deadline dependent or they might put it off
- 06:28:11 [amy]
- Had a session today, and a thought about encouraging engagement
- 06:28:24 [amy]
- .. from hearing from ppl we don't hear from much. it occurred to me that one thing i've done a lot of
- 06:28:33 [amy]
- .. around here that isn't high on my list is FOs
- 06:28:46 [amy]
- .. i've sat on a lot of council. I've thought a FO means something bad happened.
- 06:28:58 [amy]
- .. a way to measure badness. the more here, the worse things are going
- 06:29:19 [amy]
- .. in some way it's a measure of engagement and care. one way to measure i we're being provocative enough
- 06:29:32 [amy]
- .. no objection, are e doing anyting?

- Ways to define consensus. some require unanmity
- 06:30:05 [amy]
- .. others are positive endorsement required. if you ask, at least one person has to say yes
- 06:30:10 [amy]
- .. a more positive spin
- 06:30:22 [amy]
- What we have currently is a mix. we do need active support and everyone needs to live w/ it
- 06:30:31 [amy]
- A majority in saying yes, no one saying no
- 06:30:38 [amy]
- or substantial amount saying yes
- 06:30:51 [amy]
- I want to insist on rechartering could be something we can streamline
- 06:31:00 [amy]
- .. the scope does not change. something time consuming for everyone
- 06:31:13 [amy]
- .. group chairs dont' want to do it. they have other priorities would rather progress the group
- 06:31:20 [amy]
- .. team contacts dont want to do it, it's tedious
- 06:31:30 [amy]
- .. take sa lot of time for HR, and Comm team to send to AC
- 06:31:52 [amy]
- .. i think it bothers the AC bc they don't vote. sometime for rechartering the companies in the groups don't even vote
- 06:32:12 [amy]
- .. probably signals something very formal for something expected, for something that they'll get to the end of might not be good

- Useful to have principles ot see if we can optimize principles.
- 06:32:48 [amy]
- .. eg: SG reduces charter need. it would stabilize. eg: CSS if it were a SG might be more patent exclusions.
- 06:33:01 [amy]
- .. if not really, then good. that's one area. another one migh the specs themselves
- 06:33:29 [amy]
- .. .eg: web assembly, a11y review it and say "its so low level we don't need to review"
- 06:33:52 [amy]
- .. not limiting ability, optimizing and WebAssembly keep going and HR ppl put more time into things that deserve it
- 06:34:03 [amy]
- .. what's the reality. then if WebAssembly says they might go to REc
- 06:34:15 [amy]
- ... they might and then we don't have to fake it. the process works
- 06:34:28 [amy]
- Comment was made that sticking in CR is an anti pattern
- 06:34:32 [amy]
- .. trying to leverage that
- 06:34:50 [amy]
- .. there are interesting ways to be principle based and more flexible e
- 06:35:01 [amy]
- Fascinated by idea of optimizing HR. we have change classes, substantive or informative
- 06:35:11 [amy]
- .. we could have change class which are a11y or sec impacting.
- 06:35:36 [amy]
- .. or some assessment to change spec, someone like Team contact, if adding user interface. before complete, let's just check in
- 06:35:51 [amy]
- .. on a small scale, the HR group has a minimum thing to review
- 06:35:59 [amy]
- .. at the end they'll have seen things. do it as we go along
- 06:36:09 [amy]
- I've seen that work in product dev. checkpoints for adding new features
- 06:36:31 [amy]
- .. where aspects like UI would trigger a11y or sec review. and would flag ppl who can do it
- 06:36:42 [amy]
- .. doing it smaller makes it better. reduces load of HR> and make more effective
- 06:36:52 [amy]
- .. helps train ppl working on spec on things they need to work on
- 06:37:06 [amy]
- .. and ppl who have been doing it, start to learn, might need a threat model
- 06:37:27 [amy]
- .. not just big scary ppl will tell me where i'm wrong. and finding ways to trigger on additions vs. big gates in a process
- 06:37:42 [amy]
- We may not need process updates to drive this. to find workflow s
- 06:37:50 [amy]
- Where does HR fit?
- 06:38:01 [amy]
- It has to happen but does not outline how
- 06:38:13 [amy]
- Lot of ppl assume HR is a laucnh gate and not something early
- 06:38:40 [amy]
- Observation: we've talked about optimizing or skipping HR. but when i talk to others at other SDOs
- 06:38:56 [amy]
- .. the thing we do w/ HR is the single distinguishing characteristic
- 06:39:09 [amy]
- .. some maybe dont' bring work here but some like it
- 06:39:20 [amy]
- Not talking about removing
- 06:39:20 [amy]
- Careful how tinker
- 06:39:39 [amy]
- I hear if cookie cutter process, find optimization. we want to keep principles
- 06:40:01 [amy]
- Review is too light. it's impact, it's all that not just saying good enough
- 06:40:21 [amy]
- Process embraces this, whether we do in practice or not. we can already and many charters encourage that behavior
- 06:40:29 [amy]
- .. its interesting to figure out why
- 06:40:44 [amy]
- Seems ppl don't know how to start or who to ask. seems a notification goes out at some gate
- 06:40:58 [amy]
- ... vs. pinging ARiA or a template which makes it easier and more visible
- 06:41:06 [amy]
- .. lots of ppl don't know how to do this stuff
- 06:41:20 [amy]
- I remember on the TAG ppl would want to hook into design review tracker
- 06:41:28 [amy]
- .. bc it was a way to find out when ppl were looking for review
- 06:41:50 [amy]
- .. each group had their own way to do it . felt like a hack. a more uniform entry point migh mean
- 06:42:06 [amy]
- Potential standard practice
- 06:42:11 [amy]
- More kick off than review
- 06:42:18 [amy]
- An invitation to dialogue

- I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2025/11/12-w3process-minutes.html Ian
- 06:42:43 [amy]
- .. last minute curve-ball, process doc defines a lot of things.
- 06:42:45 [amy]
- .. we've been talking about our work to get a doc along maturation process
- 06:42:55 [amy]
- .. there's ton of other stuff there. kitchen sink doc of governance. defines AC
- 06:43:12 [amy]
- .. we asked how to improve AC participation. maybe we can redefine AC. look at table of contents
- 06:43:27 [amy]
- .. all sorts of stuff in there. don't hesitate to tell us. we're open to zany ideas
- 06:43:36 [amy]
- In the Process CG
- 06:43:38 [amy]
- It's a CG for a reason
- 06:43:55 [amy]
- We need usage data to figure out how used and order it that way :)
- 06:44:07 [amy]
- Thank you all so much

- We are one process reform away from not having an AC
- 06:44:35 [amy]
- There are tons of things in there we take as fixed and immutable
- 06:44:50 [amy]
- One group asked why we have CR, why REC. i said none are natural laws
- 06:44:56 [amy]
- ... they happen that way bc we make them that way
