Recommendations Process addendum: allow editor to withdraw recommendation

Open Mark-H opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

This recommendation proposes an addendum to the Recommendations Process that allows a recommendation editor to withdraw a recommendation during review or vote.

At first glance I thought the last bit was about what happens when any recommendation is accepted. Maybe change it from:

Should the recommendation be accepted, the Recommendations Process document should be updated to provide an addendum link to this recommendation.

to:

Should this recommendation be accepted, the Recommendations Process document should be updated to provide an addendum link to this recommendation.

Now looking at the Recommendations Process, I'm wondering if 'editor' is the best term to use. I feel like we really mean to say the author of the draft (person who wrote it) as a draft could be authored by one person and edited by one or more others.

For example, I authored Accessible Setup and Mark edited it.

Thanks @jpdevries, can see how that could be confusing.

As for the editor/author terminology... they are and can perhaps be swapped around in some cases, but author might suggest their job is done after a first draft?
