Last week I thought about how to rework Section 6.
Wearing my co-chair hat: we have no opportunity to rework any section
of the document unless the IESG asks us to. If we find technical
errors, we will of course fix them.
If you think that Tim and I have made administrative errors in
preventing this reorganization, you can appeal that decision.
Although some of
this reworking might be not acceptable now,
*All* reworking is not acceptable now.
I'll post it anyway. It
might be that there are some actual ambiguities in the current draft;
if so, then I guess that ambiguities might be considered to be "bugs",
that still need fixing.
There is a large difference between suggesting a bunch of reworking
and pointing out specific ambiguities. Please do the latter if you
find them.
