 The Technical issues Lead Team is meant to handle all verifications requests for:
 
-1. Group charters approvals, before and after AC review
-2. Chairs appointments
-3. Group extensions
-4. Member submissions
-5. Workshops([1](#note1))
-6. Patent Advisory Groups (PAGs)
-7. Start of Councils
-8. Transition requests([2](#note2))
-9. Anything related to the operational management of developing W3C specs

-(1) Those requests still need W3C Management approval in parallel.

 ### Out of Scope {#out}
 
-1. The TiLT is “internal to the Team”; it does not have Membership- or community-facing activities. Generally speaking, project management and strategy roles carry out these Membership-and community-facing activities. However, asking approval from TiLT is a signal that can be exposed to the outside.
-2. TiLT does not replace the Strategy Function (e.g., what Workshops W3C should organize). Note, however, that the TiLT does play a role for related decisions (e.g., Workshop approval).
-3. TiLT does not replace Board of Directors nor W3C Management functions. For example, the TiLT does not establish a budget, but through its decisions (e.g., Workshop approval), there are likely to be budgetary impacts (e.g., Workshop costs, human resources for Team Contacts, etc.). Thus, TiLT may be asked to provide input to budget discussions.

 Normative references between specifications are typically references to established standards previously published by recognized groups or to work in parallel in W3C. As a W3C specification progresses toward Recommendation such normative references rarely raise concern provided the referenced specification is stable and has licensing terms that are consistent with royalty-free implementation of W3C Recommendations, or the parallel W3C work is proceeding on a similar schedule. Borderline cases arise when a specification contains a normative reference to another specification that is not yet an established standard or that has licensing restrictions that may interfere with the intended use of a W3C Recommendation.

 At a high level, when a W3C specification has normative references to other documents the Team considers 3 factors: stability, schedule and licensing. Any of the factors described in this document are fodder for Team consideration. No single factor is decisive. Different cases will involve different combinations of these factors. The Team may consider other factors not listed in this document as well; e.g. the likelihood that W3C may wish to submit the Recommendation to ISO and the PAS criteria for normative references.
