Another thing we need to do before going to PR is make sure all the groups on on which we have dependencies have had a chance to review our LC drafts. Those groups are listed here: http://www.w3.org/2011/05/sparql-charter#coordination The review requirement: The following information is important to the decision to advance a technical report and therefore MUST be publicly available: ... Evidence of wide review and that dependencies with other groups have been resolved; [1] Typically this is handled in going to last call as: The Chair negotiates the Last Call review schedule with the Chairs of groups with dependencies (on chairs@w3.org). Securing review commitments before going to Last Call will help ensure that your document receives wide review. The suggested way to negotiate a last call review schedule is to send a heads-up to the Chairs of groups with dependencies, cc'ing chairs@w3.org. Several weeks prior to the estimated Last Call start date, the Working Group should negotiate schedules with groups where there are dependencies. [2] People were notified at chairs@w3.org of the Jul 2011 [3] and Jan 2012 [4] LC transitions, but it looks like GSP, Federated Query, and CSV/TSV slipped through the cracks; plus we have the anticipated additional LC on Query (if I've got this all straight). I think the right path forward is to use the LCn publication of Query as a big LC event to coordinate with all the other groups and properly negotiate review from the other groups. We do need their feedback on record before going to CR or PR. Also, clearly we're going to need to extend the WG. In today's meeting, it would be great to get on the record a show of hands (or even a resolution) about continuing through the end of the year, if that's what it takes. -- Sandro [1] http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#Reports [2] http://services.w3.org/xslt?xmlfile=http://www.w3.org/2005/08/01-transitions.html&xslfile=http://www.w3.org/2005/08/transitions.xsl&docstatus=lc-wd-tr [3] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2012JanMar/0008.html [4] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2011JulSep/0013.html
