So how should we process here ?

We have currently a draft errata page approved by the WebCGM WG.
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/WebCGM/WG/2007/errata-10/WebCGM10-errata-20070621

We should have a 4-week W3C/public review ?
How is such reviewed organized, What is the prcess ? (I have never done 
this for SMIL). To which Mailing list this review request should be sent ?

Once it is reviewed we should publish it at its final destination
http://www.w3.org/2007/WebCGM10-errata.html

Can we just skip the 4-week W3C/public review as most of the W3C Groups 
seem to proceed and publish it at its final destination

The WebCGM WG does not plan to publish a third release of WebCGM 1.0.

The current version is
WebCGM 1.0 Second Release
2001http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-WebCGM-20011217/
and the errata page should suffice.

WebCGM 1.0 functionality is a subset of WebCGM 2.0 functionality. While 
the WebCGM 1.0 Recommendation published on 17 December 2001 remains a 
valid specification, primarily to support existing data and 
applications, use of WebCGM 2.0 viewers and authoring tools is encouraged.

WebCGM 2.0
