This document provides details about joint deliverables between W3C Groups.
+ +As a general principle, each Working Group must follow its charter, including in the case of joint deliverables.
+ ++ If one of the Working Groups decides to drop a joint deliverable from its charter, + only the charters of the remaining Working Groups involved in that joint deliverable are applicable. +
++ A Working Group cannot publish features on the W3C standard track that are outside of its scope. + The scope of the narrower Working Group prevails in joint deliverables. + As such, any feature which is out of scope for one of the Working Groups involved cannot appear in the joint deliverable. +
+
+ Each Working Group is obligated to follow its Success criteria requirements.
+ So the success criteria of the joint deliverable is the combination of the success criteria of all of the Working Groups involved.
+ Any conflict between the success criteria sections ought to be resolved before the charters are approved.
+
+ Each Working Group must follow its decision policy. + If conflicting decisions are recorded, the Working Groups need to resolved their differences. +
++ For example, all of the Working Groups must agree to publish a new revision of the joint deliverable in order for the publication + of the joint deliverable to happen. +
+
+ Each Working Group must follow its patent policy.
+ Any conflict between the patent policy sections ought to be resolved before the charters are approved.
+
+ As of 2023, all Working Groups are following the same version of the Patent Policy so no conflict can appear. +
+
+ Each Working Group must follow its licensing requirements.
+ Any conflict between the licensing sections ought to be resolved before the charters are approved.
