Evaluation

A core part of our Strategic work is the evaluation of how proposed work serves the Web. In the "Evaluation" phase at the end of the funnel, we make the case whether work is ready to proceed to Chartering of a Recommendation-track deliverable. At that point, we need to identify:

• Will this work help to lead the web to its full potential?

• Is the work Rec-track ready?
  Not Rec-track

• Do we have the ecosystem of participants needed to make the work successful?

unclear

• users, developers, implementers; industry sectors
• from that we can dig into
  • who specifically is involved? interested, opposed?
  • what tools and frameworks do they use?

Will it add value?

• something good for web users. what are the alternatives?

continue as-is, with insufficient communication around the strategy work.

• have "horizontal" (a11y, i18n, security, privacy) issues been considered and identified?

N/A

From i18n, we would like to ask adding a new item into a list in Scope, which mentions about horizontal activities, like

Work with W3C Members and the W3C Team to evaluate the Web architecture, security, privacy, accessibility, and internationalization impacts of potential work areas.

Also hope to check success criteria and coordination part near future.
