1. Is the ODRL community o.k. not to have a 'vanilla' JSON encoding as part of the deliverables as it is defined now? Or
2. Should the deliverables also include a 'vanilla', non JSON-LD encoding as part of the deliverables?

If the decision is #1 above, ie, only a JSON-LD document is produced, then, I guess, [2] should not be listed as an input document.

The correct approach should be, in my view, to leave this question open for the WG to decide. Make the deliverables JSON and add a note that the WG will consider whether that is a JSON-LD compliant encoding or not, and/or whether both JSON versions should be standardized.\

The ODRL CG has discussed this point:

The preference is a JSON deliverable, with a Context document.

Action: update the Deliverable title to be just “JSON"
