Well, none of the following are concerned with the content of the document on the table, but: - Extend the public review period by longer than 11 days. Two months would be more appropriate, considering that the original comment period was largely wasted because of inadequate public notification. - Retract the SVG 1.0 Recommendation, since it incorporates patented elements that rely on a policy not in effect at the time the recommendation was accepted. - Admit individuals and nonprofit organizations to W3C membership with reasonable fees and full membership rights. - Deprecate the use of members-only documentation. -- Daniel
