Subject: Re: FW: [ws-tx-editors] Editors instructions


I think reading a Word document imposes more overhead on general members 
of the TC precisely because it requires them to have Word. There's also 
very little overhead involved for editors in generated the PDF from the 
Word docs: I'll happily do it for everyone if that is the case.

Mark.
