"On technical matters" would distinguish between the AB and the Board. 15:35:08 ... Maybe "issues that arise in the course described in this Process document". 15:35:54 ... but that could be too narrow. E.g., Process does not include community groups 15:36:34 Ian: How about: "..ongoing guidance to the Team on issues that arise during the course of community activities regarding strategy, ...." 15:43:41 (We look at "Has responsibility for the Process Document") 15:43:58 Ian: +1 to has responsibility 15:44:06 +1 15:45:09 TallTed: My sense is that the word choice debate is about "too much power" or "too little power." 15:45:34 Brent: Section 10 makes clear how the AB manages the process document 15:46:16 Ian: Let's hear on the thread if people support "has responsibility for" 15:46:57 Topic: propose to close issues 15:47:12 subtopic: https://github.com/w3c/process/issues/1033 15:47:16 Github: https://github.com/w3c/process/issues/1033 15:54:19 Ian: I'm hearing the premise ("short term ok") was challenged but there's no consensus on how to change it. Can we close it? 15:54:25 Brent: I think closing it makes sense. 15:54:40 Francois: +1 to close 15:54:43 TallTed: +1 to close 15:55:12 Brent: And Florian supports closing it 15:55:52 Ian: It appears we already agreed to close :) => Process CG agreed to close during the 2025-10-08 meeting. 15:56:48 Brent: That was the pull request; this is the issue 15:57:29 Topic: next meeting 15:57:50 Brent: Normally scheduled for 11 Feb. Ian has sent regrets 15:58:04 ...I will poll people to see. 15:58:09 RRSAGENT, make minutes 15:58:11 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2026/01/28-w3process-minutes.html Ian 15:58:18 RRSAGENT, set logs team 17:46:13 Zakim has left #w3process
