Hi Curtis,

I concur the second issue is the key one.  However, I don't view it as orthogonal
as there are some interpretations (including yours ;-)) that liaison internet drafts
from another SDO should also be handled as individual submissions.

If we remove all mention of liason, then the document applies to all
individual submissions.  You are not arguing that this is a bad thing
for individual submissions.

A second orthogonal issue which this draft does not address is whether
liason internet-drafts would be given special consideration or would
continue to be handled as individual submissions.

If the mention of liasons is removed and there are no further issues,
we can move forward with this draft.  [Then discuss the liason issue
later and preferably on some other list.]
