The minutes have two lines out of order.  That comment was meant to 
apply to issue 180, which had a call for proposals which closed yesterday:

Given that there has been a revert request, the next step will be to 
identify one or more issues.  Based on the sense of the room, and the 
direction you are taking, it may make sense to split apart the 
discussion of keep/remove/improve the time element and the discussion 
about adding a data element.

The right next step here is to identify one or more issue are.  Once 
that is done, there will be a minimum of 30 days given to allow 
proposals to be created.

There was rough consensus of the participants in the f2f, but by policy 
we allow asynchronous participation via mailing list.

I will note that there is one concern that has been identified with the 
definition of the data element as currently specified:

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13240#c72

See the last paragraph in that comment.  Given the sentiment in the room 
in the F2F, if that concern can be addressed and no other concerns are 
voiced, it occurs to me that we could move this forward quickly with a 
Call for Consensus.  Should anybody object, we would give those who do 
an opportunity to produce counter proposals.
