Re: CFC: Standing consent to publish working drafts on monthly schedule

public working draft for comment?
every month? 

You will get the same comments over and over.   I would not publish another for comment until you have cleared all the comments from last time.
 

To keep publishing new versions when the comments have not been cleared from the last is not good practice and not considerate of reviewers. 
I do not understand the rationale

why would we want more comments before we have cleared the ones we have? 


Maintaining and editors draft on the WAI/GL site is fine.    But publishing one for comment that has known problems that have not been addressed  - -I don’t see the logic in.  And I see lots of downsides.

The approval is to allow the chairs and Michael to take the current version of the editor’s draft as of a day or two before the publication date and use that to create the Working Draft for comment.
