To make this perfectly clear, let me again quote the charter [1]: 1. Purpose [...] 1.5. Maintain a public archive from which software and information relevant to TopicMaps.Org can be obtained through electronic transfer. 3.6.3. TopicMaps.Org AG Activities [...] The work products of the TopicMaps.Org AG, including voting summaries, meeting summaries, draft specifications, etc., will be made available to the Advisory Members for comment and review and to the public at large for review. 5. XML Topic Maps Specification (XTM) 5.1. XTM Creation, Rights and Publishing [...] XTM shall be published in such a way that it may be used and copied by anyone for any purpose, provided that all copies are true and complete, and provided that each copy shall bear the copyright notice of TopicMaps.Org, [...] There is of course the possible inconvenience of transferring to a different list archive, but otherwise I see little reason not to proceed. Other than changing the name of the list from the "TopicMaps.Org Working Group" to the "TopicMaps.Org Authoring Group", since Steve seems amenable I think we're ready. I don't think Michel is against this, just late in catching up on his email (having just got back into touch recently).
