+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.
