The co-chairs have discussed this and agreed to not push this bug into
VERIFY state until the end of this calendar year.  The operative
deadlines therefore are as follows:

We will need an issue to be raised by January 14, 2012, and a Change
Proposal to be completed by Feb 11, 2012.  Of course, you are welcome to
either close the bug or raise an issue earlier before then.

Just to be clear: consequences of missing these dates will be that the
bug will likely be marked as POSTPONED.  Furthermore, the bugs
themselves are to remain in a RESOLVED state until or unless you have
specific actionable information that you would like the _editor_ to
evaluate.  If you simply have information that you would like the entire
Working Group to evaluate (or even a separate Task Force to work with),
then the status of the bug is to remain as RESOLVED (i.e., not on the
editor's queue)

Does this work for you?

P.S.  Even though it wasn't explicitly mentioned, we are willing to do
the same for bug 13101.
