Hi all,

The editorial team requests guidance and clarification from the WG on
constructing the Primer.  We looked over the minutes of the first f2f,
and it was not said therein that the understanding policy by Asir would
be a source or the source or not a source for the Primer.  It simply
said roughly "convert into xmlspec".  We note that there is an
outstanding AI for potential primer material from Umit and Maryann. 

It is also not clear the relationship between these.  Imagine both are
used as input.  Which one is "the basis" and which one provides "diffs"?
For example, should material from Umit and Maryann be deltas against
Understanding?  Or should Asir (or editors?) go through and propose how
to merge the documents as equals?

We ask the WG to instruct us on what materials should be used in the
primer, and their relative primacy.

On behalf of the editorial team,
Dave
