Hence a 2 > month rule sounds good, and your objection seems hypothetical. I'm going to put together some stats and maybe a preliminary list. I'll split the difference and say 4 months. This seems like a reasonable timeframe to assess controversy. Note: my primary goal here is not about in-spec controversy markers, though if anyone wants to add those I would suggest working off the same list or following a similar objective rule. My primary goal is to track the progress of the Working Group on resolving such issues. I believe that to improve something you first have to measure it. Thus, I'm hoping to produce regular updates on these issues and the number resolved since the last update. Regards, Maciej
