Re: Timelines

I disagree.  I think that we should have the Christmas holidays to work 
on processing the comments: sorting out the editorial, easily fixed with 
a proposal, and the contentious that need multiple proposals and 
debates.  We want the Deep Dive to focus on the contentious.

If we give people until January, they won't respond because everything 
goes below the fold after the winter holidays.  I think it will really 
hurt us to extend the deadline until after the holidays.

If we close it in December, then we can have editorial branch drafts and 
various proposals ready to go for the Deep Dive, which will greatly 
accelerate the process of going through the comments.  Michael would 
have the best advice here, because he had to deal with the WCAG 2.0 
draft with thousands of comments, and more recently the 2.1 drafts.  
Plenty of ATAG drafts had hundreds of comments.  Managing them without 
getting the group bogged down takes a lot of background work, IMO.

Our goal (IMO) should be to be able to rip through the comments and get 
started migrating content knowing what the templates and scoring will 
look like.
