Re: [wg-d] "Interim Measures"

["Bret A. Fausett" <baf@fausett.com>]

While we have two posts suggesting that WG-C should cease work until this 
WG can complete its report, I read a majority of the posts suggesting 
that WG-C should continue working, though trying something new to move 
its work ahead.

As for what the "something new" should be, a number of posts have 
suggested asking the members of WG-C to summarize their work into written 
position statements, both as a means to share the positions with the 
larger Internet community and as an exercise to focus the group's 
thinking. 

As to what should become of these statements, there seems to be some 
consensus that there will be a public comment period, etc. and perhaps 
the opportunity to revise or compromise the statements. There has also 
been a suggestion that these position statements may actually represent 
the final work product of WG-C. 

I would suggest that we report to the NC that WG-C continue its work and 
encourage its participants to find common alliances and draft as many 
positions statements as there are points of view in the WG. I posted a 
suggestion as to what these reports should look like, based on David 
Johnson's earlier post to this WG, that received some support. I would be 
interested to hear if people agree or disagree with that suggestion or 
have additions or revisions to it.

While the process of drafting these reports/positions statements is in 
the works, we can continue our discussion on what should become of them 
and if, when and how they will be published for public comment and 
criticism.

Objections? Thoughts?
