Once consultations are completed, the Chair of the W3C Council assesses the consensus of the Council, or if consensus cannot be found, calls for a vote of the W3C Council to sustain or overrule the Formal Objection.
If there is disagreement within the Council + about the meaning of those sections of the Process + that govern the Council itself + in a way that interferes with its ability to discuss the substance of the case, + the Chair should try to resolve this by consensus, + and should seek the advice from the Team contact on how to interpret the Process. + If consensus cannot be found, + the chair should make a determination, + possibly through a vote, + to allow the deliberations to move on. + Any such point of procedural contention should be covered + in the Council Report.
The W3C Council publishes its decision and its rationale.
Whether the decision is to sustain or overrule, the W3C Council may include additional guidance for any of the participants involved.
If the objection is sustained, the relevant group (i.e., Working Group, or Team developing a charter) may resume work to develop a different proposal for their document.
