ISSUE-124: Normative Reference policy should explicitly black list WHATWG specs

WHATWG-blacklist

Normative Reference policy should explicitly black list WHATWG specs

State:
CLOSED
Product:
Normative Reference Policy
Raised by:
Arthur Barstow
Opened on:
2014-09-08
Description:
If a group has consensus that an "external reference" (such as a WHATWG spec) meets the group's requirements, then with respect to publishing a Technical, such a reference should be permitted. However, based on my conversations with Consortium staff last week, the Director will NOT permit a Proposed Recommendation to include a normative reference to a WHATWG spec.

Although I disagree with the Director's position here (because I think the processes should defer to the opinion of the group and implementors), the Issue is the Normative Reference Policy [NRP] should explicitly identify those external groups the Director has explicitly blacklisted. As such, and to help avoid confusion, set expectations, etc., NRP should be updated to explicitly blacklist WHATWG.
