Since a whole chapter is still missing (my comments have not been incorporated: Addendum to Introduction, Dec 12, 2005 5:35 pm, to go to this new Backgrounds chapter), like the handling of odd sized sectors, and there are significant requests for changes, I think we don't have a version we could consider to discuss, let alone to vote on. We should modify our timetable:
- We need a draft version with all the changes in, and two weeks for comments. - Then we need a meeting to discuss conflicting change requests, new additions. - Then we need a revised draft, and two weeks for comments. - Finally, we could submit the final write-up for voting.
