It’s prudent to maintain separation here; the dynamic nature and certain ambiguities within the CG charter, contrasted with the stability of the W3C process, warrant it.
@csarven I would in general agree with your suggestion to not include this text, but some reviewers expressed concerns about that, hence this PR. I would keep the text even after the draft is updated and does not mention the Solid process.
@acoburn I included the text "It goes without saying" precisely to make it clear that we are not trying to introduce anything new or exceptional compared to other WGs. I would welcome suggestions for another wording, but I think we must emphasize the fact that this is "business as usual".
The mention of "Solid Process" was removed from the EDs of specifications by the following PRs:
This topic was discussed in 2023-10-18 CG meeting and there were no objections to merge. It was also noted in the meeting updates to the EDs are "enough evidence" for @pchampin .
I got multiple feedback, including from W3C staff, discouraging us to include this text in the charter, following the same rationale as @csarven above. Even more than the fact that "it goes without saying", the concern was that including it in one charter may give the impression that other charters may opt out of the W3C process.
I'm therefore closing this PR without merging it. The corresponding text will be instead included in the response sent to the AC reviewers with the new version of the charter, when finalized.
