| 49 | +<p>This document provides details about joint deliverables between W3C Groups.</p> |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +<h2 id="between-wgs">Joint deliverables between W3C Working Groups</h2> |
| 52 | +<p>As a general principle, each Working Group must follow its charter, including in the case of joint deliverables.</p> |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +<ol> |
| 55 | +<li id="dropping"> |
| 56 | + <p> |
| 57 | + If one of the Working Groups decides to drop a joint deliverable from its charter, |
| 58 | + only the charters of the remaining Working Groups involved in that joint deliverable are applicable. |
| 59 | + </p> |
| 60 | +</li> |
| 61 | +<li id="scope"> |
| 62 | + <p> |
| 63 | + A Working Group cannot publish features on the W3C standard track that are outside of its scope. |
| 64 | + The scope of the narrower Working Group prevails in joint deliverables. |
| 65 | + As such, any feature which is out of scope for one of the Working Groups involved cannot appear in the joint deliverable. |
| 66 | + </p> |
| 67 | +</li> |
| 68 | +<li id="success-criteria"> |
| 69 | + <p> |
| 70 | + Each Working Group is obligated to follow its Success criteria requirements. |
| 71 | + So the success criteria of the joint deliverable is the combination of the success criteria of all of the Working Groups involved.<br> |
| 72 | + <em>Any conflict between the success criteria sections ought to be resolved before the charters are approved.</em> |
| 73 | + </p> |
| 74 | +</li> |
| 75 | +<li id="decision-policy"> |
| 76 | + <p> |
| 77 | + Each Working Group must follow its decision policy. |
| 78 | + If conflicting decisions are recorded, the Working Groups need to resolved their differences. |
| 79 | + </p> |
| 80 | + <p class='example'> |
| 81 | + For example, all of the Working Groups must agree to publish a new revision of the joint deliverable in order for the publication |
| 82 | + of the joint deliverable to happen. |
| 83 | + </p> |
| 84 | +</li> |
| 85 | +<li id="patent-policy"> |
| 86 | + <p> |
| 87 | + Each Working Group must follow its patent policy.<br> |
| 88 | + <em>Any conflict between the patent policy sections ought to be resolved before the charters are approved.</em> |
| 89 | + </p> |
| 90 | + <p class='example'> |
| 91 | + As of 2023, all Working Groups are following the same version of the Patent Policy so no conflict can appear. |
| 92 | + </p> |
| 93 | +</li> |
| 94 | +<li id="licensing"> |
| 95 | + <p> |
| 96 | + Each Working Group must follow its licensing requirements.<br> |
| 97 | + <em>Any conflict between the licensing sections ought to be resolved before the charters are approved.</em> |
| 98 | + </p> |
| 99 | +</li> |
