Re: Path forward...

Matthias,

Thanks for sharing. It is now clear that W3C staff and our co-chairs are
intent on moving forward without a discussion of process re: the June Draft
and without a group discussion based upon our mutually agreed upon
evaluation deadline. I respectfully object to this approach and look forward
to discussing further on Wednesday's call.

Alan
