The HTML WG Chairs and W3c Team would like to publish new HTML WG heartbeat documents on or before Sep 30, 2012.
We would like to know from each of the editors/editorial teams listed below if they can prepare the requisite heartbeat Working Drafts by Sep 15 so that we can have them ready to do a WG Call for Consensus on the publication by that date. Can each of the designated editorial teams or individuals identified below please respond explicitly to this email confirming whether they can be ready by Sep 15? Note that since the HTML5 editorial team has not yet tackled the problem of how to product the "HTML5: Edition for Web Authors" specification the Chairs are willing to treat that item as optional for this heartbeat publication. But if the HTML5 editorial team can get that item done as well that would be great. Once the documents are prepped by the respective editors and the CfC is done in the WG then Mike Smith will handle the logistics of getting the documents thru the publication cycle with the W3C publication team. 1.
