Re: [Add] ADD Calls for WF Adoption

Hi Eric,

So here we are in a call as to whether documents should be discussed by the WG and we are doing just that. Seems to me that the adoption question is already answered.

No, I do not believe that WG adoption means that the document describes a good idea nor one that is going to lead to some published document(s). It means that a bunch of folk want to talk about it and discuss their various interpretations of the concepts exposed in the document(s). It may lead somewhere. Or it may be a set of terrible ideas and lead nowhere. And that’s fine. WG Adoption is not an endorsement of the concepts, nor should it ever be.

I support DISCUSSING these draft. I don’t necessarily agree with the draft, nor can I (or anyone else for that matter) claim that the WG “supports” these drafts until the WG discusses them. I don’t support peremptorily stopping discussion of these drafts by not adopting these document. It appears that they are in scope for the WG’s area of study, and I that’s a reasonable position to support adoption by the WG group.

regards,

   Geoff
