A formal comment as such has no special weight in the IETF process. The URI mailing list may not be a formal IETF working group, but it is planning to make a submission for IETF publication, so I'd imagine the IETF modus operandi will be predominant. I suggest we make an less-formal response for now (e.g. per [1]), and if a problem remains when the draft goes to IETF last-call, we may consider something more collective. [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2004Feb/0061.html As for timescales: Roy mentioned requesting IETF last-call in two weeks. The IETF last-call for a non-working-group specification is 4 weeks. In practice, I expect we have a bit longer because of a forthcoming IETF meeting. #g ------------ Graham Klyne For email: http://www.ninebynine.org/#ContactReceived on Thursday, 19 February 2004 07:47:41 EST
