Topic: ISSUE-129
15:20:00 [mchampion]
issue 129 - Steve emailing Judy, who is OK with simplifying coordination group language
15:21:18 [mchampion]
There are 4 differences - duration, explicit deliverables, membership criteria, ground rules for termination
15:22:06 [mchampion]
Phil Archer's group on data does have a termination group. So a coordination group could be thought of as an IG with a restricted attendance policy
15:22:29 [chaals]
q+
15:23:02 [mchampion]
We could just add some language in the process document about escalation path for coordination issues
15:24:13 [mchampion]
Charles notes that the requirement for groups to talk to each other is already there. Adding informal ideal about how to escalate doesn't seem necessary
15:25:06 [mchampion]
Steve notes that the main path of escalation is a formal objection, which is overkill
15:26:10 [mchampion]
Summarizes -Charles argues that the formal objection mechanism is all that is needed in the process, further detail is unhelpful

15:29:10 [SteveZ]
mchampion: are the differences identified are important enough to distinguish CGs from IGS?
15:29:25 [mchampion]
Mike asks whether anyone on the call believes the difference between IGs and coord groups is worth preserving both in the process
15:30:04 [mchampion]
Charles replies that the difference doesn't justify having both.
15:30:52 [mchampion]
Steve - IGs aren't the answer but CGs are not needed. Judy wants to run this by her group and get back after 12/3. We can wait until then
15:31:44 [mchampion]
Conclusion - we're leaning toward removing coordination groups and not adding anything else to the process document
15:31:57 [mchampion]

[assignments to COO/W3C Chair are issue-145 (currently not open)
15:34:19 [mchampion]
Steve - soe roles assigned to COO or Chair that need to be moved, let's not lose that material when simplifying 2.2
15:35:09 [mchampion]
Charles asks Steve for counterporposal text
15:35:41 [mchampion]
Steve - will identify material and write proposal
15:36:25 [mchampion]
Steve - the other item is that both the Director and COO/Chair can delegate int he current document, only the Director can delegate in Charles' draft

15:38:08 [mchampion]
Charles - referring to the CEO instead of Chair or COO seems a logical choice, but it's not clear we need to
15:38:32 [mchampion]

15:42:17 [mchampion]
Jeff - agrees we should replace non-existent chair with CEO, dont need to talk about COO
15:43:41 [mchampion]
Actions ordinarily assigned to Chair should be documented, e.g. when Jeff became CEO there was a question whether he should become chair of the AB. Similarly there is a question of who chairs the AC meetings

Charles - it's a relatively small amount of text to keep, I can live with it
15:44:31 [mchampion]
Steve - Agrees with Jeff, those bits of text are useful
15:45:26 [mchampion]
Jeff - I don't feel strongly that it would make it a MUST.
15:45:43 [mchampion]
Steve - OK with "ordinarily"
15:46:13 [mchampion]
Steve ask Jeff whether those are the only 2 places where the CEO should be mentioned?
15:46:51 [mchampion]
Jeff - not proposing any new mentions of chair, coo, or ceo. As long as we make replacements or thoughtful removals, ok

15:50:35 [trackbot]
Notes added to Issue-144 Chairs are asking for clarification for Wide Review.
15:51:41 [mchampion]
Charles objected to "Director can consider whether wide review was part of the evaluations" Not clear what the issue was
15:53:24 [mchampion]
Charels- Doesn't feel that proposed change adds any value
15:53:40 [mchampion]
Steve- Just want to encourage people to do it sooner rather than later
15:54:08 [timeless]

timeless should no longer be muted
15:54:14 [mchampion]
Charles doesn't want to die on this hill... neither does Steve ...
15:55:24 [mchampion]
Josh - easiest thing to do would be ask some chairs what would be good enough to satisfy their concerns about the new process
15:56:36 [mchampion]
Josh - as someone who does wide review, problem seems to be when WGs don't make progress on the points made in the review
15:57:27 [mchampion]
Steve - this is part of the performance of the process, hard to put rules about how to perform well in the process

Jeff - What we're doing here is propose process modifications that would be too late to help Sam, Team needs to answer Sam. Anne has also asked some questions the team needs to answer. We can address process issues later
16:02:24 [mchampion]
Steve - Summary is that nobody has identified process issues with Sam's proposal
