The open questions I listed were related to the Public Policy Meeting: whether its purpose to to give the AC an idea of the community's sense of a young proposal, or to find consensus (for or against) a mature proposal. Other questions may certainly be examined or re-examined. </span><br><br>The committee's expectation for the process is that once we have agreed on a process, and checked to make sure it
meets our original goals, we will send it to the AC and Board to make sure we haven't missed anything significant, and shortly afterward send it to PPML. The AC and Board will be able to make comments, but we'll be most interested in the feedback from the community. The committee does not believe that our work ends once we have sent documents to the AC and Board, and in fact expects additional questions will need to be addressed before we have an adopted Policy Development Process, and probably afterward.<br><br>As for "when," I thought it would have been before the April Public Policy Meeting, but it turned out that we had unresolved questions (see above). So, Real Soon Now, I hope within a few weeks.<br><br>Lee<br><br><br>PS: I offer several apologies. One, for not responding sooner; I have been sick this week, and not tracking email well. Two, the committee has been slow in completing its work. <br></div><div
