Hi Peter, I think QA framework has establsihed a solid foundation.
To be fair, our community has not focused attention on how workgroups will function and that has also been a drawback regarding progress and participation on the QA framework not to mention that quality is a complex theme. The impetus and outputs being generated by the Workgroup for workgroups will provide a solid basis on which to take the QA framework forward. All looking good -- the great thing about the wiki model is that all our efforts and drafts remain intact for ongoing improvement!
