[MPEG-OTSPEC] Can't join the W3C community group

[Simon Cozens]

Hello Eric and David,
	The draft charter is indeed framed that no technical contributions or 
discussions will be in scope. My proposal is that the following 
paragraph be added to the scope section:

"Under the present charter, the Community Group will determine a 
structure and process under which such specifications may be created by 
which the greatest number of interested parties may be able to 
participate. Until such a structure and process is determined, no 
technical development of specifications or implementations will be 
undertaken by this Community Group and no technical contributions will 
be accepted."

	I hope this is more easily digestable to employers.

Simon

That would help me.  Would it help you?
