My feeling is that the group would start by publishing the ODRL documents, with minimal re-write, right at the beginning, to put some stakes in the ground. Ie, a FPWD should be possible, for most of the documents, sometimes in Spring 2016.

Good idea. Lets schedule the FPWDs within 2(?) months of starting.

(BTW: “Spring” means something completely different for those who decide to live in the southern hemisphere ;-)

That would also send the message to the community making it clear that "the future is in the WG, the CG is history!”.

Not really, the CG will be important longer term to keep the community going post WG - and to enable the non-w3c members a place to share experiences.

I also believe that, after a while, synchronizing all documents is important. Ie, I would not want to publish CR/PR/REC first for the model and, one months later, for the rest. It does not look good imho.

Ok, good point.

That being said, there are discussions (started by Doug, if I remember well) whether it is wise to put such tables into a charter or not, knowing fairly well that those time tables are rarely followed in practice… Best check this with the higher authorities!

I’ve never seen any charter that has meet the milestone dates ;-)

Perhaps we can use “quarters” instead? So the four columns will have (something like): Q2 2016, Q4 2016, Q2 2017, Q4 2017
(we should try and end by end of 2017, given our starting position)
