[wg-c] weekly reports [was: Deadlines]

[Jonathan Weinberg <weinberg@mail.msen.com>]

	I think we are making progress (and it's taken place while I was off-line
for a few days to do other work.  Is there a connection?)  I think it makes
sense for people to keep talking for a while longer before anybody tries to
goose or structure the process.

	I'm not sure what to do about the weekly reports.  The NC members, in
their last meeting, agreed that such reports would be a good idea, but that
was on the basis of their understanding that most of the posts to wg-c
consisted of procedural bickering.  They figured that a summary would allow
people to keep tabs on the small number of substantive posts without having
to wade through all of the mail.  At the moment, though, we're getting
15-20 substantive posts per day, and very few nonsubstantive ones.  It
would be hard to summarize 120-odd posts in a weekly update in any level of
detail.  I can try a more broad-brush summary if folks think that would be
useful.
