Well, they should be available to everybody by then. They don't have
to be finalized in the sense that everybody has read and
agreed to them. Two weeks before the ftf is 24 Sep.
I'm not aware of any documents that we should be discussing
at the ftf that are unlikely to be available by 24 Sep.

Assembling the ftf agenda is usually done by the chair offline.
That's happening; I have seen rough drafts. Maybe they should be copied
to the WG mailing list.
But I don't recommend spending telcon time drafting the ftf agenda.

It seems to me that these issues have everything to do with ftf4.
i.e. progress on these issues during telcons tells us which
ones we need to reserve ftf time for.

Again, this seems entirely relevant to the ftf.
