This was not an oversight, though; the charter discussion explicitly avoided milestone issues that evening. Separately, though, I thought I'd note that the WG's 'final draft' is only the beginning of the stdization process. Final drafts are submitted to the IESG with a recommendation to Proposed; then a Last Call is held. Later, evidence of its success can be brought to the IESG to promote it to STD status. Besides, I can think of a pretty cool logo for STP -- STLP can't even be pronounced! :-) Rohit KhareReceived on Monday, 11 March 1996 16:48:17 EST
