RE: [gnso-vi-feb10] Group on documenting "harms" - UPDATE!!!

I agree with Tim.  Keep it on the main list.  If there is a sub-group, I would 
like to participate but I don't see the need.

Looks like the harms group that I suggested has generated a little bit of 
traffic and interest in the last 24 hours. Either people really want to work on 
this topic or they have really missed the email banter after a few days of 
quiet.

Based on the interest on the list and the emails I have received off-list I 
would think that this should be kept on the main list, but I do have a question 
for this group. Does the WG think we can work on a document that explores the 
harms and probability, possibility, likelihood, chance........ if it goes 
through the whole list for each iteration, or is it better for a sub-group to 
work on it and then put it to the WG for everyone to attack it and take it 
apart as is the custom?

My vote is for a sub-group to work on it first because I am afraid that each 
email that goes out discussing a topic will be subject to 50+ editors and 
snipers, advocates, detractors....... and we will end up nowhere. I assume that 
the co-chairs are the ones to make the final decision, but as the proposer of 
this idea, my vote is for the sub-group and then bring it to the main WG for 
review after each iteration of the document, not waiting for a final edition to 
send for review. FYI - I believe there about 10-12 people who asked to be on 
this sub-group so far, so it will be well represented.

Can the group please respond to thoughts on my proposed path forward as we have 
limited time left and a lot of work to do. Once we have some sort of idea on 
how to proceed Mikey and Roberto I believe can make the official call.



Thanks,

Jeff Eckhaus
