Working Group Summary

   Was there anything in the WG process that is worth noting?
   For example, was there controversy about particular points 
   or were there decisions where the consensus was
   particularly rough? 

Document Quality

   There was broad agreement. One participant had some concerns that might not
   be met in the current draft, but they were not able to give specific text
   to alleviate their conerns; the points they were concerned with should not
   block the document.

   This document not does specify a protocol.

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Paul E. Hoffman. The
   Responsible Area Director is Paul Wouters.
