As you probably already are aware of, the XML Protocol Working Group is operating differently than most W3C working groups in the past, in that work on the specification will be done in public. We will be soliciting input on different aspects of the specification. I have volunteered to act as a facilitator on the public list to help focus the group on specific topics that may be currently under discussion. Where we are: The Working Group met recently to start the work on crafting a requirements document. A list of requirements was generated and we are now working on putting these requirements in prose. Once the requirements are captured in prose, this document will be made public. We will make this public by mid November. In order to best utilize our bandwidth and resources, various issues will be opened for discussion on the mailing list. It would be best for the process if list contributors stay on-topic as to what issues are being discussed. We are trying to move quickly, and this will allow everyone to focus in on specific problems and generate the best solution to them. We have used this process in some of the larger Working Groups with good success. Given that the number of people contributing technical input will be much larger in Protocol, please respect these guidelines so that any contributions get the attention they deserve.
