Hi all --

Adding my two cents to Dave's message...

 From the minutes:  "time line seems to be at risk" and "F2F proposal May 
28-30 in Needham".

Our time line originally said early May for finishing first CD review 
(60-day), and for the associated F2F.  This means early March to start the 
CD review.  That's 3 weeks the from next telecon.

I thought it might be hard to make that milestone for CD-review-quality 
text.  If everyone does his drafting item on time, I'm thinking that 
mid-late March is more realistic for a CD ballot start, which would make 
late May a safer choice for F2F.

Perhaps I'm being too pessimistic. But there are still drafting items that 
don't have a volunteer, and in my experience questions always come up and 
need discussion once you actually start drafting the text.

This doesn't mean to relax on the drafting actions.  IMO, we will only make 
the more relaxed schedule if the drafting AIs are done on time.
