my quick CR checklist

All --

I have been looking at reference #7 [3] in the agenda [2] -- the steps to 
transition to CR.

Mostly for my benefit, I made a simple checklist of everything 
involved.  You might find it handy, if the definitive specification [3] is 
too daunting to get the high-level overview.

Process Doc 7.4.3:
-----
** All -- Draft IR showing of present and expected implementations as part 
of CR request.
** All -- Decide and Identify "at risk" features.
** All (decide) -- CR transition announcement must have "minimal duration".
** All (decide) -- CR announcement should contain expected duration.

Steps to transition to CR (Ref. #7 in agenda [2])
-----
** ALL -- vote and minute a resolution to go to CR.
** ALL -- finish DoC and approve it.
** ALL -- consider & answer media-type registration question in [3].
** LH -- produce draft CR text.
** TM -- review team-only pre-pub requirements.

** ALL -- Decide when to telecon w/ The Director
** ALL -- review/discuss Transition Request "requirements have been met" in [3]
** TM/LH -- Draft the Transition Request for Director/CEO
** LH -- Send transition request to Director/CEO (at least one week before)
** TM -- arrange transition telecon with Director
(** Transition telecon / Approval )

** ALL -- Decide proposed publication schedule.
** LH/TM -- Produce pubrules compliant CR text.
** TM -- Put the text in the right place.
(** Namespace URI stuff is moot now, right?  Solved in 2.0, unchanged.)
** TM -- negotiate publication date w/ Webmaster.
** LH/TM -- Draft publication request.
** LH/TM -- Send publication request to Webmaster.

** LH/TM -- ensure public comment list exists.  [DONE]

** LH/TM -- draft transition announcement.
** TM/LH -- coordinate transition announcement timing w/ Comm Team.
(** Comm Team sends CR transition announcement.)
** LH -- forward announcement to webcgm-public list.
