Hi Nozomu,

Brendan has indeed discovered he doesn't have time to champion the proposal through TC39, so I removed it while I searched for a new champion. Good news on that front - I have found one! Gorkem Yakin works on the Chakra team and is available to help move this proposal forward. I will also help out where I can. I've added the proposal back to the stage 0 list!

Thanks,
Brian

Subject: Look-behind proposal in trouble

Apparently my proposal for adding the look-behind assertions to RegExp has been in trouble. I would like to ask anyone for help.

The following story is what I know about the proposal after my previous
post:

I created a pull request for the proposal in July and sent an email to Brendan Eich asking if I can put his name as a champion:
https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3a%2f%2fgithub.com%2ftc39%2fecma262%2fpull%2f48&data=01%7c01%7cbrian.terlson%40microsoft.com%7c4ae7856a9bce41643bdf08d2ccb2485d%7c72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7c1&sdata=OUKMWzLwY0dpLrWaa1ezy352chL5U46e%2bndukc41oBY%3d

I have not received a reply to my email, but I received a notification email in September that replying to the pull request, the proposal was moved to stage 0. Today, however, I just noticed that the proposal had been dropped from stage 0, stating "RegExp lookbehind has no champion".
https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3a%2f%2fgithub.com%2ftc39%2fecma262%2fcommits%2fmaster%2fstage0.md&data=01%7c01%7cbrian.terlson%40microsoft.com%7c4ae7856a9bce41643bdf08d2ccb2485d%7c72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7c1&sdata=p8ueBFdyJcbB0cttDVQLU3OU0QoKbe5ddCl4C5tfO8E%3d (Oct 4, 2015)

I am uncertain about what happened. Does this mean that Brendan Eich is no longer a champion or did not take a champion on from the beginning or ...?


Regards,
  Nozomu
