Getting to closure on the remaining issues

Hi all,

As you all know we've been slipping off track with regard to our schedule 
to deliver a Recommendation by the time our WG expires (1 June 2014). We 
cannot afford any further slippage. See the timeline I laid out: 
http://www.w3.org/2012/ldp/wiki/Meetings:Telecon2014.01.27#2nd_Last_Call_timeline

What this means, practically, is that we no longer have time to 
investigate and debate issues at length. We HAVE to close every remaining 
issue one way or another. If we can't agree on a resolution then we will 
postpone the issue. Yes, that means we may have unresolved issues. Nothing 
is perfect.

The good news is that while we still have several pending issues, I 
believe we can close them all quickly (yes, really). We've got proposals 
for all of them and it's "merely" a matter of getting these accepted.

Of course this is only to get us to LC2 and there is no way to tell what 
will come out of it but that's beyond our control.

In the agenda for next Monday I put forward a set of proposals on how to 
revolve every remaining issue:

Be prepared to cast a vote on every one of them or accept not to have a 
say. I will not further delay resolution on these.

I know this has been trying for everyone and it's been hard for some to 
stay on top of everything. The thing is I don't think the world would fall 
apart no matter how any of these decisions would go. So, let's just decide 
one way or another and move on.

Thanks.
