Sam, Paul or Maciej Is this correct? When is the > soonest that the Chairs will call for Issue 30 counter proposals? We will not call for counter-proposals until after Last Call, which would be late May at the earliest. We are pleased with the constructive tenor of the conversation on public-html about this topic, and likely will not move to cut it off prematurely. Once we post the call for counter-proposals, then there is still time to revise the original Change Proposal. At the present time, I would recommend focus on discussion within the full WG rather than on locking down a finalized Change Proposal. That would increase the odds of addressing more objections, and gaining support for the pro-longdesc side of the issue beyond what was seen originally. Regards, Maciej
