Can someone elaborate on what was actually vetoed? Article mentions `charter change for the Privacy Interest Group (PING)` not clear for me what it means
Looks like they veto'd giving PING (an interest group within the W3C) veto power.
"Google was the only member of the W3C to vote “No” to a proposed charter change for the Privacy Interest Group (PING), a working group of the W3C dedicated to web privacy matters. Concerned that web privacy issues were being routinely ignored by many working groups of the W3C, the Privacy Interest Group sought to expand its charter, such that it would have the ability to block any new technical specification that it felt would have negative implications for web privacy. "
Here's what I got from sniffing through the group's posts.
The proposed charter is at [0]. Google raised an objection to the charter in [1]. Chris Wilson posted some clarifications in [2] and Daniel Glazmen posted a response/comment in [3].
As far as I can tell, an objection was raised in a consensus-based discussion. I didn't see any evidence of support from the "other 23" or of any actual vote taking place. I'd assume that others would know more about any such details.
