[eppext] Recharter Milestones discussion

[Antoin Verschuren <[e-mail]>]

Dear Working Group,

Apologies for this late starting of this discussion.
I had intended to start this discussion some weeks ago, but I was waiting for Jim to edit the draft charter text so we could be in agreement on the draft charter text and the milestones at the same time. Jim is very busy and didn’t get around to that yet, so as sugested by Linlin, let’s start the discussion on the proposed milestones and have that item concluded on.

Below you will find the list of proposed milestones.
I have reordered them based on our discussion in Yokohama.

What we would like to hear from the WG is if this list of milestones is accepted.
To order the discussion, comments can be made:
-Either on a specific document not to be in the milestones list so it will not become a WG item.
-Discussion on priority or grouping, but then there needs to be consensus on which documents to exchange in the priority because we cannot work on all documents at the same time.

To be clear:
-All of the documents on this list will become WG documents.
-As discussed in Yokohama, this WG focusses on Standards track documents, but at the WG request, we can review Informational documents, and the nv mapping draft in one such example where the authors have requested WG review.
-The order and priority can be changed in the future, but this is the initial order in which we think work can be done.
-There is room for new evolving documents to be added later.


MILESTONES

The proposal is to create a set of groups of our documents, order
those groups, and then create milestones for each group.

As a starting point for discussion there is a set of documents already
active and the rest have been distributed into 4 sets.


Here is the proposed set of milestones.  It is based on the model of 3
months per group.
