RE: [emergency] Draft TC Letter on HazCollect

["Tim Grapes" <tgrapes@evotecinc.com>]

I agree with Art's sentiments here.  I don't think we should refer to
compliance / non-compliance, or to conformance / non-conformance.  If it is
agreed that a letter be sent by the TC, we should simply state our concerns
regarding the specific issue, stop there, and address this issue in the next
release of the standard (which we could also add).  Otherwise I believe we
step beyond the scope of what a standards body should be doing.  

Respectfully,

In reality, however, nobody at NOAA has questioned that.  Instead,  
they've asked, "non-compliant in what regard?" and we've explained  
the problem with their modification of the definition of  
<description>, and they've agreed it needs to be fixed.  The only  
issue has been whether the fix could be deferred.

I'm thinking we might be wise to focus on the question actually on  
the table right now and defer conjecture till later.  The present  
issue is a very simple and pragmatic one and I think all that's  
required is a bit of reinforcement of what's already been said.
