The proposed process is different from the current ACT rule review process in the following ways:
The ACT Rules community group website is dropped. Rules are published directly to w3.org, but with an indication that the rule is "proposed". Implementation tracking too is done on w3.org. Any guidance on rule writing, process descriptions, and the definition of done is used directly in the github repository.
ACT TF members will have an active role in updating rules. In their review, TF members propose changes. Instead of handing feedback to the rule author, the liaison is responsible for drafting any necessary changes themselves.
The validation process now involves both members from the TF and the CG, instead of being exclusive to the community group.
Instead of having two separate but connected processes, one managed by the CG and the other by the TF, a single process exists that is maintained by the TF.
There is no longer a separate CFC step in the Task Force. The survey is essentially the CFC; and not answering the survey is akin to not responding on a CFC.
