(Dropping cc for lack of space, you know how to read the thread.)

Replying to @doctorow

I used «vote» as a shortcut, here is a more accurate description of the process: 1. Team aims for a goal (the open Web, no DRM).

Replying to @doctorow

2. Political feasibility is evaluated in many ways. Poll is one, many discussions with relevant parties too.

Replying to @doctorow

3. If the «wrong» outcome happens, the «Director» will evaluate the possibility of an override against its consequences.

Replying to @doctorow

4. If the consequences are too bad (or the chances of success of the override too low), Team scrambles to find another way forward

Replying to @doctorow

So yeah, it’s about as ugly and frustrating as politics can be. That’s why it’s painful to see allies screaming at the Team.

Replying to @doctorow

The Team has its flaws no doubt, but they’ve been at this a lot. Been fighting DRM since first proposed in 2001. Still fighting…

Replying to @doctorow

…and so far (but for how long?) keeping it at bay in EPUB. I hope we can turn the «guidelines» into sth bigger than the look.

Replying to @doctorow

I’m not talking about the Process — I’m talking about how things actually do work ;)

Replying to @doctorow

Absolutely. DRM is only there for plausible deniability. No one cares about how it’s done, it’s a legal checkbox of the worst kind

Replying to @doctorow

I think we can obtain a stronger covenant *outside* the W3C than inside. I’m pretty sure we can get big corps to sign off on it.

I agree that the odds those two aren’t in the 2nd round are close to zero. That’s not what I worry about. Predictive models…

Replying to @trekonomics
