Yes, but that would take a coordinated effort among a large number of players. Conversely, under the current structure, a small group of browsers/non-CAs could block a WG that the CAs propose. Is that fair?

Hi Dean,

Under that model, the CAs could always block a WG that the browsers/non-CAs proposed.  So that doesn’t seem fair or reasonable.

One suggestion I would like to make is regarding the ballot for creation of working groups. As it stands now, once a charter is created and presented for ballot,  this voting would occur at the Forum level under the current Forum voting bloc rules. This seems unfair to me as one group (i.e. CAs or Browsers) could marshal resources to block the creation of a working group. Shouldn’t this vote have equal weight of all members? I’d like to hear various opinions on this.

Thanks,
Dean
