I just wanted to update you all on the current status of 2011-06, as those of you paying close attention to timings may have realised that there should have been some update over the recent Christmas period. Obviously there has been a lot of conversation about the proposal, some positive, some negative and many excellent points have been raised. I've been speaking to the NCC and Tobias about all of this and a course of action has been decided.
Is 2011-06 the result of the task force? As far as I know, it hasn't been labeled as such on the mailing list, and the wording in the proposal itself is ambiguous.
Yes, 2011-06 came out of the work of the ACM-TF, but for various administrative and practical reasons Tobias is formally acknowledged as the proposer.
I'm wondering if it made sense to pick up other issues discussed prior to the task force formation which aren't addressed in 2011-06 at all.
The current feeling between the people looking at this proposal (the proposer, the NCC and myself as WG Chair) is that there are a number of very wide ranging issues that were raised, but that the best course of action is not to try to put them all together into one big proposal. It is likely that some of the issues, such as the NCC's point of view on data accuracy, will come up, but the main focus will be the content of 2011-06. Brian.
