Formal Objections filed in W3C vote"},"content":{"rendered":"

While the vote totals in the poll<\/a> are still positive by a large majority, there have been a couple formal objections<\/a> lodged which could overturn the vote. The W3C<\/a>‘s process for consensus<\/a> and dissent allows for formal objections to either be remedied by compromise, or in a case where that compromise is not possible a Chair may<\/strong> record a decision in spite of dissent in order for a group to move on. According to the same process document:<\/p>\n

Groups should<\/strong> favor proposals that create the weakest objections. This is preferred over proposals that are supported by a large majority but that cause strong objections from a few people. As part of making a decision where there is dissent, the Chair is expected to be aware of which participants work for the same (or related<\/a>) Member organizations and weigh their input accordingly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While there doesn’t seem to be much interest outside the W3C and WHATWG<\/a> on this issue right now (at least none that I am seeing online) I will be keeping a close eye on the developments and announcements from W3C to see how this all plays out.<\/p>\n
