Yes ... if someone would like a document posted to the work area, I am currently the bottleneck to do so. >Do we need a different way to build these >documents collaboratively? That would be nice ... but how would we maintain the openness of our results as required by procedure? >Who will publish the documents in the special >section of the Web site? Perhaps yes ... perhaps we collaborate out of the public eye and publish result on-line, but only for documents ... not for committee discussion, as discussion must remain open. >In addition to the list of discretionary items, I'm getting ready to send >along the start of a list of vague areas in the specs.
