Re: Mutual understanding between Solid CG and LWS WG regarding the input documents under Deliverables of LWS WG charter

Hello,

The LWS WG discussed this issue in today's weekly meeting. [1]

The consensus view was that it would be acceptable for the CG to continue
work on the editors' draft of the Solid Protocol specification, especially
as it relates to fixing errors. The expectation is that the CG will not
publish a new fixed version of the protocol, such as 0.12, nor that the CG
would change the protocol in a significant way.

In addition, it is important to note that the WG will treat these documents
as inputs, and the WG may be selective in what is adopted from those inputs.

I hope that clarifies the issue from the WG side. It would be helpful if a
CG chair could chime in on this thread from the CG perspective.

Best regards,
Aaron
