Re: [wg-c] Separating the Sheep from the Goats

["Kevin J. Connolly" <CONNOLLK@rspab.com>]

Right . . . evaluation needs hashing.  I would not pretend
on this rough cut to even try to specify the evaluation criteria.

Second, I said "first" stable plateau because I think we all
anticipate that there will be many different plateaus of stability
as the DNS moves toward satori.  It's just that I hope that once
this first plateau is reached, the system will become self-modifying
without WGs like this one being in constant session.

Kevin -
  I like this, but the one thing I see missing here is the "evalutation"
that I've perceived several people as arguing for occurring after each
of these steps.  I'm wondering if this was implied in this plan, or
left out, or is still something that needs to be hashed out?

Assuming that we can come up with an agreeable, workable evaluation
plan, I think I like this.  Also assuming that (C) is not the last
step.  I would imagine a cycle of controlled rollout->plateau over the
next several years.
