With all due respect, you are suggesting a process exactly OPPOSITE
of what I described in my recent messages. You are proposing that
people send you POSITIVE votes, rather than NEGATIVE votes (ie,
comments in opposition to the given proposal).
This process has NOT worked (nay, NEVER WORKED) in the past.
We would be fools to ignore our multi-year history and think
(for whatever reason( it will work now.
All:
I believe the entire PWG should consider how such critical
processes such as "Last Call" (or whatever you call it) are
performed.
No matter whether "positive" or "negative" voting is used,
all such comments should be PUBLIC and not private to the
chairperson, IMHO. Does others agree or disagree with this
statement?
Would others on the DL please state their views on which kind
of voting process you think would be suitable for the PWG?
