Re: Refreshed draft

I must admit that line in the process seems to be strange these days, when some groups automatically 'publish' *every change in the editor's draft*. Put it another way, any time a PR is merged would trigger a publication. We decided not to do that; had we done that, we would have had about 10-15 publications since the previous one...

I think having a formal resolution, with voting on a call at all seems to be over the top. Although I believe Matt or I did mention a few weeks ago that we would publish a new version at the next equilibrium point in the work, maybe we can agree that, next time, we send around a mail to the group before we push the necessary button to see if there are some objections. Would that be fine?

Now that we’ve worked through a number of the other issues raised at TPAC, and the preliminary work on the table of contents algorithm is also wrapped up, it was the perfect time to get a new draft out before the holidays.
