I'll follow up more with the chairs of the community group (they just had a face to face earlier this week and I presume it came up). The last bit that I heard is consistent with what Dan mentioned - the concern is not around standardization but that neither the chairs nor the browser vendors nor the major hardware providers were consulted publicly in the creation of a proposal to transition to a working group: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webvr/2017Jul/0083.html
Based on that thread, I'd expect the proposal to be withdrawn or - as Dan mentioned - things adjusted to involve the the current spec contributors. I'll try to get on the phone with folks to find out more and get something to dbaron by tomorrow. I'm not familiar with the inner workings of the W3C, but I find it hard to imagine how things will go well with none of the current spec contributors involved. - Lars On Wed, Aug 16, 2017 at 10:46 PM, Eric Rescorla <e...@rtfm.com> wrote: > > > On Wed, Aug 16, 2017 at 5:18 PM, Daniel Veditz <dved...@mozilla.com> > wrote: > >> On Wed, Aug 16, 2017 at 3:51 PM, L.
