In the section, "7.2.2 Wide Review", there is the following sentence in the second paragraph, "A recommended practice is making a specific announcement to other W3C Working Groups as well as the general public that a group proposes to enter Last Call Candidate Recommendation in e.g. approximately four weeks." This announcement should also go to any groups with identified dependencies. One possible way this could be implemented is to change "the general public" to 
"the general public, especially the sub-communities thereof that are affected by this specification". Here affected sub-communities clearly include ones with identified dependencies.

This Issue was raised following a conversation with Larry Masinter who was commenting on the Last Call Draft.
