Although this is interesting, I wouldn't add the details in that  
document. Those would be very likely the "Design Patterns for Open  
Government Data" we mentioned a couple times before.

I don't think we could hide them behind hyperlinks yet since it will  
take us a while to get them done.

We probably need to think agin in terms of target audience. For me,  
that document is not intended for implementors.

I very much hope the ETF could come up soon with a "card" or  
"template", as Rachel mentioned, that would need to be filled before  
starting docs, stating intended audience among other things.

Agree!

Yup... I hope others will send comments, too.
I know ETF plans to take on Charter and White Paper as agreed with  
Chairs but hope more people from IG comment on the content and ETF  
could add this one to the list of deliverables soon.

I think we should also set a deadline for comments for this document  
and upcoming ones so ETF could take on those consistently after  
deadlines.
