Rick, The Consortium is primarily a meeting place, a place to go forward together. At the AC meeting there was a lot of discussion about the process around architecture. I can't really discuss the advice here in detail, and there is no conclusion yet. But htere were a lot of good points made. A group working together -- and that includes the public lists and open source - need consensus systems, and they also need plans. Most other bodies such as OMG and IETF have some sort of formal or informal method of evolving the general direction, and of keeping individual contributions cooperative with it. The consortium is has grown and matured. The process is continually changing. We are committed to having an effective process, and trying to get the best collaborative space while not burdening everyone with bureaucracy. I do not want to fill this list -- which was to address a specific technical issue -- with process. But we will obviously have to make a suitable process as soon as we can. Tim
