Hi all,

This extended second WGLC should have ended November 3th, and the chairs asked 
for clarity from the document shepherd and authors that the document was stable 
and all comments were addressed and not material.

After the document shepherd made that statement, there were new changes made to 
the document, and there is currently another technical discussion on one of the 
options that require a choice by the working group.

The chairs have decided to take this document back into the working group until 
that discussion has ended, and since we cannot judge ourselves if this is a 
material change, we will issue another WGLC once the document is stable and all 
issues are addressed, so that we can make a clear consensus call on the final 
stable version of this document.

Regards,

Jim and Antoin
