Moving towards CR/PR/REC

Dear WG, the chairs and staff contact discussed the progress of the group towards our stated milestones [1].

In order to meet our deadlines, we will target a Proposed Recommendation (PR) by early December 2017.
(We will then need to ask W3C for a WG extension to deliver the final Recommendation in early 2018).

Working back from this:
 Nov: Finalise PR from CR feedback
 Sept/Oct: CR feedback period
 August: Final CR

Hence, by the end of August (~4 weeks from now) we need to have the Candidate Recommendations (CR) ready including the Test Cases and testing regime.

The current outstanding GitHub issues [2] will need to be completed by the end of this week.
(This is the last call to comment, and a freeze on new issues.)
And we will then work on the Test Cases.

We believe we can meet this new schedule to secure the delivery of the ODRL Recommendations.
