We discussed this earlier but thanks for noting it. The FPWD and CR milestones remain effective, and we should be thinking in terms of Last Call even if it isn’t called out in the process per se, i.e. we should know when we have stable drafts that we think are complete. Obviously earlier implementation can help inform the entire process. regards, Frederick Frederick Hirsch, Nokia Co-Chair W3C Web Annotation WG @fjhirsch On Nov 13, 2014, at 7:22 PM, Stian Soiland-Reyes <soiland-reyes@cs.manchester.ac.uk> wrote: > I note that the August 2014 process document [1] now no longer > differentiate between Last Call Working Draft and Candidate > Recommendation - yet our charter (from 2014-09-24) includes those as > separate deliverable milestones [2].
