I could be confused. However, as far as I know, the RRG was not
chartered to produce a design goals document for some other body to use.
So, while I can understand wanting to produce a design goals document
for some hypothetical piece of future work,
1) without knowing what that future work is, I do not see how it is
meaningful to produce a set of goals for it
2) I do not see how this research group can claim to produce such a
thing within its charter.
Our current activities are focused on wrapping up our charter.
Creating a new charter for a successor research group is a very
different task. What it would, could, should, or might be I do not
claim to know.
Yours,
Joel

Hi Joel,
You wrote, in part:
But the document is not the goals for some new set of work. It
is the goals we roughly agreed on early on. The purpose of
publication is for the historical record, not to drive some new
set of work.
I disagree with your assertion that this forthcoming RRG Design Goals
RFC is intended as some kind of historical document - a record of what
we were thinking. There's nothing about this in the draft and I don't
recall Tony stating anything to this effect.
The fact that the design goals draft was not updated or widely
discussed between July 2007 and November 2010 doesn't mean that most
or all RRG participants accepted the draft -00 of July 2007 as their
design goals.
I responded to the draft on the basis that it should be the best set
of design goals the RRG can produce in late 2010.
