Re: Agenda Nov 6 - please read mail due to questions

Actually, W3C practice allows decisions to be reconsidered at any time.
In fact, this decision was a change to a previous decision to publish PO
as a WG note. (Changes to decisions do indeed happen!) However, that is
not the intention here but to clarify discussions about the *content* of
the FPWD in the plenary, which appear to imply that more work was being
proposed before FPWD. That meeting ended with:

******

PWinstanley: I think it's important to pay attention to the audience, be
sure you give it the best shot to get a good reception. If there are
obvious improvements we can make, don't wait.

ncar: nothing off the top of our head
… we think it's ready

PWinstanley: it will next need to be put in front of the plenary.

*****

At the F2F we voted that we would put forward the profiles ontology as a
FPWD rather than a Note.  What we didn't specify at that meeting was
whether we would publish it "as is" or if we would wait for comments
from WG members after a review. That is what seems to be unclear, and
unfortunately we did not make it clear in Lyon.

So this is a check on 1) does the plenary agree that the document is
*ready* for FPWD or are there additional essential changes needed? and
2) is there anything holding up the move to FPWD, e.g. known tasks? (so
we can set a deadline and give Dave a heads up about when he can expect
to receive the stable version).

Note also that when decisions are made in a meeting, members who were
not present can still voice an opinion. I want to make sure that
everyone is comfortable with and understands the background for the
decision in Lyon.

I'm hoping that Dave will join us in case we need any advice regarding
what W3C expects in a FPWD so we don't find ourselves making a faux pas
right out of the gate (to horribly mix two metaphors).
