Hi everyone,

I think given the large volume of issues raised in what are fairly  
small specs, and the fact that there is no public record of  
resolution for working draft comments, I think at least one more last  
call will be needed for the CDR and WICD specs once all issues are  
addressed. Many of the issues raised are not just minor nitpicks but  
fairly deep issues with the spec. As such, I think moving to CR would  
not be an appropriate next step. Especially so in the case of CDR,  
where it impossible to make any kind of test suite to verify whether  
implementations are interoperable (I haven't looked at the WICD specs  
closely enough to know if that is the case there too). It may even be  
appropriate to move back to Working Draft status until something  
closer to a publishable spec is available.


Regards,
Maciej
