Review of Proposed Changes to Technical Reports Process (Room 4-153)

Session proposer: David Singer
Likely Chairs (not yet confirmed): Charles, SteveZ, Jeff
Purpose: Walk through all the changes of the Proposed New Process
Potential topics:
- What are the key differences from the 2005 Technical Reports Process; where is the problem statement and key use cases this proposal addresses; what are the motivations for the changes?
- How does the proposal affect various constituencies?
  - Chairs
  - Editors
  - WG members
  - Other members of the consortium
  - The public at large (e.g. ‘public review steps’)
  - IPR review and policy
- Are the various constituencies empowered or disadvantaged by this process? What unintended consequences might there be for each of these communities?
- Does changing LCWD from being an explicit part of the workflow to being implicit really result in less work?
- Rather than eliminating an explicit review step, why can't the same results be achieved by providing more education, best practices, guidelines and such?
- Which WG is going to be the `guinea pig(s)?
- What is the plan to get wide review of the proposed process by other SSOs that use W3C standards?
