What does a Committee Note Draft mean?  

From process perspective it means that the TC has voted to label it as a Committee Note Draft.  That status makes it eligible for sending out for public review, if we vote additionally to do that.   We can't send this out for public review until first approved a CND, so in that sense the vote is prereq for getting broader feedback.

We can also iterate on CND's if we wish.  The parallel process, with ODF 1.2, saw us approve 7 Committee Specification Drafts and send out for 3 public reviews.
