No, what I had in mind is: ending 28 Aug. The norm is that WG members get a week to consider a question and respond. The dates above are suggested as the start of that week-long period. This doesn't give 3 weeks notice on head-profile, but I'm reasonably sure all the relevant parties have already been in contact with us and said what they have to say. In yesterday's telcon, we observed that discussion on head-profile is just repeating the same arguments, so it's probably time to put the question. Mike took the action. http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/actions/75 > > I'd like to fit some more requirements issues in the > > schedule leading up to the TP week; this is just > > a starting sketch. > > > > I also suggest we demote many/most of our OPEN issues to RAISED, > > and discourage discussion of issues that aren't OPEN. > > http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/open > > We can try that, but I'm not too optimistic about telling people what to > discuss.

But it's not working very well so far. Maybe more encouragement in the right direction will do the trick, but I've asked other leaders of large mailing lists, and they've advised that individual off-list mail is pretty important for traffic shaping, if not explict on-list policy declarations. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ gpg D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
