[editorial] Council composition statement spends too much time on exceptions #679

Closed fantasai closed 1 year ago

fantasai commented 1 year ago

In https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Process/Drafts/#council-composition most of the words in the introductory sentence are dedicated to outlining the exceptions, and this is a bit awkward. Filing this issue as a reminder to try to improve the phrasing here.

The Revising W3C Process CG just discussed [editorial] Council composition statement spends too much time on exceptions, and agreed to the following:

The full IRC log of that discussion <fantasai> florian: Editorial issue as well, sentence that introduces composition of the Council spent more time discussing the exceptions than the main topic
<fantasai> ... a number of attempts to shorten and improve sentence
<fantasai> ... so a smaller % spent on discussing the exception
<fantasai> ... a number of attempts, updated PR with the growing consensus
<fantasai> ... so it's a little shorter, and exception in parens, so seems like an improvement
<fantasai> plh: Concur, though in the grand scheme we need to simplify Process
<fantasai> florian: Don't think a few words here or there makes a difference
<fantasai> plh: Any objections to merging #706?
<TallTed> +1 merge #706
<fantasai> RESOLVED: merge https://github.com/w3c/w3process/pull/706
