    13. Removing some at-risk features early in CR

    + +

    Working Group members may request early removal of features that +the WG has approved to be on the list of at-risk features for a +specification in (or soon to be in) Candidate Recommendation.

    + +
    + +
    1. Marking as at risk
    +
    To be eligible to be dropped early, the feature must be approved +by the Working Group to be on the list of at-risk features prior to +CR.
    + +
    2. Nominating for early removal.
    +
    If an at-risk feature does not have a thorough test +suite, and also does not have even a single reasonably complete +implementation, it may be nominated for early removal. Nominations +for early removal may be entered before entering CR, or up to 3 months +after entering CR.
    + +
    3. Chair review
    +
    Chairs will review nominations to ensure that requests for early removal are +reasonable.
    + +
    4. Opportunity to present an implementation or tests
    +
    If a nomination is reviewed and approved, advocates of the feature +have up to 3 months from the date of the request to present a thorough +test suite or a reasonably complete implementation.
    + +
    5. Early removal
    +
    If no one presents a thorough test suite or +a reasonably complete implementation by the date 3 months after the +request is made, then such features will be removed early. Such +features may still be pursued in standalone specifications, and may be +reintegrated into the core specification if they meet the CR exit +criteria and have WG consensus.
