Agenda 20160317

@@Note: this agenda depends on Editors being ready with drafts.

• This is an important call to understand the process for reaching First Public Working Draft. Please make an effort to attend.
  • The expectation is that we will not likely have time to resolve specific issues during this call. We will begin to devote call time to resolving issues as of around 7 April.
  • At all times, written proposals are encouraged as a way to foster discussion of issues.
• Call for consensus process
  • Decision to publish N drafts will follow 1 week call for consensus, which will be sent after the meeting. Call for consensus deadline is noon ET on 24 March. Please note that this is just a publication decision, not decision related to technical issues.
  • On this call people will share perspectives (pros and cons) and suggest what would make them most comfortable with publication.
  • Email will list four documents; people can express support or Formal Objections (see below) on the group's list.
  • Chairs will evaluate responses and where there are FO's seek ways to address them.
  • Final decision will be made no sooner than the 31 March teleconference
• Registering Formal Objections
  • Please cite any changes, supporting materials, or other considerations that would address the FO.
