I'm also unconvinced that the working group (which I'm a part of)
followed the process as outlined for the work leading up to a
membership vote. While I tried to discuss this on the PAPE mailing
list yesterday, Mike had the opposite interpretation and seems to have
moved ahead anyway. While I believe that the PAPE spec should be
approved (and have voted to do so) I agree with Chris' concerns and
the one I raised yesterday about the process being unclear as to if
the WG correctly followed it or not.

I received the email about voting for the PAPE extension, but it
didn't refer to a place where discussion is happening, has happened,
or where debate might take place about the work (if that's permitted).
In other words, a vote has been called on the PAPE extension, and,
without the benefit of context, we're being asked to vote for or
against it, or to abstain.
While the membership is probably small enough that many WG projects
have visibility, it seems presumptive and premature to put this
measure to vote without providing background information, context, a
history of the work that's gone into developing the extension, an
explanation of what a positive or negative voting outcome would
mean, who should vote, why you should vote one way or another, and
what the timeline to the vote is.
In other words, if all of these questions are answered in the
bylaws, it would be at least handy to point to these references so
that I, as an OIDF member, can make an informed decision in how I
vote.
Is all of this information available somewhere?
