Sorry, I had a bit of trouble parsing that (or at least understanding the
significance).
My interpretation is that WG discussion of LC comments will happen in the
normal WG fora (such as the WG mailing list).
Actually, the discussions all seem to be happening in Bugzilla, now.
This is bog standard.
The WG *response* to LC comments will, presumably, at least be cced to the
forum wherein they were made, such as this list? If there is further discussion
with the raiser, I presume that will happen here as well?
(Again, this is pretty standard.)
So, Shelley, if you want to be in on the internal WG debate (and do things like
vote), making an LC comment leaves you no more involved with *those*. An LC
comment *does* have to be vetted with you and if you refuse to be satisfied,
brought forth to the director at transition time.
A reasonable strategy is to raise the comment *now* as a bug. If the working group fails to dispose
of it to your satisfaction, you can raise it as an LC comment. (i.e., "My comment is that I'm
not satisfied with the WG resolution to my bug #237.") That may trigger another round of
discussion, which may just be "We're not going to change this."
My personal experience is early bugs are preferred and I would imagine be
treated without prejudice. The tactics of commenting vary with the situation.
Cheers,
Bijan.
Thanks for your suggestion.
Shelley
