QAWG -- In anticipation that people will be starting to complete their review assignments, a bit of QA process might be in order. Recall a decision that we took at Montreal -- the results (GL templates and summaries) of these reviews are to be member-only. This is why we have the review matrix, as well as completed reviews, residing in /QA/Group/. We had several reasons for this policy, including: -- these are mostly for our own purposes, to help us find problems in the GL documents; -- the GL documents are raw, changing fast, and do not yet represent even QAWG consensus; -- if reviews are to be made public, we first should have QAWG consensus; -- before we publish anything, we should coordinate with the subject WG chair (as a courtesy). Accordingly, when you finish a review, you should send the completed GL review skeleton document *off-list* to Dominique and/or the qa-chairs -- remember, www-qa-wg is a publicly archived list (attachments included), so if you send it there, it's public. Someone (Dom or a chair) can then put it in /QA/Group/ and send a simple message to QAWG announcing it's presence. In some cases we might want to share a review with the target WG. We can handle these on a per-case basis, but in any event we will probably still want to keep it non-public (most WGs do their business in member-only mode still). We can discuss later, what sort of minimal QAWG (or qa-chair) endorsement we want before sharing. Comments? -Lofton.
