Re: Preparation for April 2012 TAG F2F

Ashok,

Our advice from Rigo was that having an un-opinionated purely technical document would serve as the best foundation for stronger positioning; that is what this document aims to be.  If there's anything in this document that seems to be a legal opinion to you (or anyone), then we can take it out.

I gather that the advice from Thinh was that a Recommendation would have much more weight than a Note or Finding. So far it hasn't even been published at all, and I really think it's time it was in some way.

Regarding the other work, if you can offer some help on framing the more strongly worded positions, I'd appreciate it; I've done some drafting and consulted with Wendy about some of it, but none of it so far feels quite right. It might be that the best way of framing these positions is to use the examples that we notice from time to time and build around them.

So, this is a good time to start thinking about what the highlight topics should be, and especially to start planning to have any significant new drafts available in time for review.
