Hi all,

Just some notes about white papers.

Note that the notices section says this was approved as a Committee  
Draft by the TC. That is not yet the case. It should say that it was  
prepared by the subcommittee and submitted to the TC for approval  
(i.e. Working Draft). Once the TC approves it, the date on the cover  
should reflect the date of approval and the notices section should be  
updated. The running footer date should be the date of approval.

Standards are like parachutes: they work best when they're open.
