Since I set the deadline, I should probably comment on this. As always, the earlier comments are made, the easier it is for the spec authors to respond to them. Things get particularly constrained once the hosting Task Force recommends adoption. I had thought that might happen at the meeting following this month's OMG meeting, but I now think otherwise. I was also trying to exploit the expected turn-out of ODM submitters for this month's meeting. This is probably the last time that this group will meet face-to-face, and that seems the best time to discuss issues with the document. Having said all this, this needs to be balanced against that the depth and completeness of review that a longer review time might yield. Personally, if HP is willing to invest the time and effort implied by Jeremy's email, then the results are probably worth waiting for. Furthermore, from an OMG process point of view*, we could probably wait until, say, March 7 for the results of this review without delaying ODM adoption. In conclusion, I suggest that any organization willing to do a more thorough review of the ODM spec, go ahead and take the time to do so. If this yields any comments prior to January 26th, then please send those to the SWBPD list so that they can be discussed at this month's OMG meeting. * This new proposed deadline was made without knowledge of the plans/ schedules of the submitters who will have to actually make any changes to address issues raised by review comments, so I could easily be wrong about the effect on the schedule for ODM adoption.
