w3process-ISSUE-74 (NeXtSteps?): Must specs describe next steps? [Document life cycle (ch 7)] http://www.w3.org/community/w3process/track/issues/74 Raised by: Ian Jacobs On product: Document life cycle (ch 7) In http://www.w3.org/mid/CFE36B99-1937-41DD-999B-7F9A6B4C22ED@w3.org Ian explains: Because of the patent policy, it is important that readers know whether a group expects a document to become a Recommendation or not. Also, when a group has been chartered to produce a Recommendation but then plans change, it is important that a document state the new expectation. The draft says that the status section "should include expectations about next steps, and". I don't think that's strong enough as stated. I think this should be a MUST to send clear signals relevant to the patent policy.
