[RIF][All] UCR first working draft decision

As announced a few times already, we plan this tuesday to ask the WG for 
a decision as to whether to release the currently frozen version of the 
UCR document as a first public Working Draft.

There have been some requests for a formal vote, for a number of good 
reasons, so we have decided to go along and hold a formal vote on 
Tuesday, with a roll call of each organization and their position 
(Agree, abstain, object) which will be recorded in the minutes.  We're 
letting you know in advance since I indicated at the last telecon that 
we would not do it this way.

So, each organization shoudl be prepared to have a spokesperson cast the 
vote.  Invited experts get to vote.

As we've already said, if there are objections to any particular use 
cases, we expect to hear before-hand by email, and we will amend the 
issue to drop particular use cases from the first draft and move them to 
the "under development" section.
