ISSUE-41: Remove the "Review of corrections" process?
Reviewing corrections
Remove the "Review of corrections" process?
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- Document life cycle (pre 2014 chapter 7, now chapter 6)
- Raised by:
- Ian Jacobs
- Opened on:
- 2013-10-03
- Description:
- Currently the process allows errata to be reviewed, and attain normative status. This has not been useful in practice, and instead Edited Recommendations are published when required.
Removing this process would mean implementing the following two proposals in Ian's mail http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-w3process/2013Sep/0018.html for changes to section 7.6.1:
a) "An errata page MAY include both proposed and normative
corrections. The Working Group MUST clearly identify which
corrections are proposed and which are normative." I think this is
a bug. The corrections only become normative once included in the
specification. I suggest deleting the sentences.
b) Please delete all the text related to "Call for Review of
Proposed Corrections." This bit of process has never been used
and the odds that it will be are very low.
