BP doc: timeline to completion on W3C side

Hello Jeremy, Linda,

I'd like to check with you the timeline to completion for the Spatial Data on the Web Best Practices document.

>From a W3C perspective, ideally, we'd be done by end of June, when the WG charter expires.

Now, if I understand things correctly, the OGC vote will close on 7 July 2017. The vote could potentially trigger a few editorial fixes to the spec. At a minimum, I would assume that we will need to publish a final WG Note after that date with an update to the "For OGC" part of the Status of This Document section.

Also, there are a few remaining open issues on GitHub, with some plan to discuss at the OGC TC meeting end of June:
https://github.com/w3c/sdw/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Abp

Anything else that would require changes to the document?

When do you think we'd be ready to publish this document as a final W3C WG Note? Can issues be closed and publication on W3C scheduled independently from OGC discussions? If not, would targeting 13 July 2017 for publication be reasonable?

I will have to request a short extension for the group in any case, for the Time Ontology and SSN specs, so that should be OK. Process-wise, publication of a final Working Group Note at W3C does not require more than a group resolution to do so. This means that we should issue a call for consensus on the mailing-list at least one week before the expected publication date.

Thanks,
Francois.
