Procedurally, the WG can do what it wants to here, there is no official method for declaring a document a WG document. Different WGs operate in very different manners in this regard. What I am suggesting here is that a draft should be published any moment now (Tim?), and that I want people to read it and let us know if it is an OK start for a work in progress for the WG to actively try to finish. If there are no other competing architecture documents to evaluate, I'd like to see it move towards being a WG document rather quickly (we're supposed to be finished by December). This by no means says the document is finished or even has consensus of the WG in its current state, just that it is the document the WG will try and turn into a final product. All this means is that it becomes the "working group's document" rather than "Tim, Jari, Jason and Ole's document". Sometimes, it's a "big deal" when a document moves to WG status. Often that's because the WG has a set of entrenched proposals or groups fighting against one another. I prefer to avoid the drama if we can, that's all. - Mark > > Lee > > This E-mail and any of its attachments may contain Time Warner Cable > proprietary information, which is privileged, confidential, or subject to > copyright belonging to Time Warner Cable.
