There was a practice to confirm working group decisions on the 
mailing list.  I could not find any message pertaining to that in the 
relevant mailing list archives.  What are the actions items?

I read a blog post published by the Center of Democracy and 
Technology about the draft.  Prior to that, I asked whether the draft 
was about etymology and the response was that it was about 
"power".  I could not find that listed as an objective or 
non-objective in the slides.

Would the email discussion be better if it was structured and managed?
