> Report [5], a Test Suite [6] and addressing a few WebCGM 2.0 
> Recommendation Errata [7].

> The WebCGM Working has not had time yet to finalize the

> 
> 1- collecting and publishing pending WebCGM 1.0 errata
> 2- publication of a WebCGM 1.0 third release
> 3- collecting and publishing WebCGM 2.0 errata, if required
> 4- Organize a F2F to finalize these items.

> Furthermore WebCGM experts have compiled a preliminary list
