Greetings again. Following the lively meeting in Québec last week, I have updated the draft for the milestones tool. The diffs are here: <http://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-genarea-milestones-tool-03>. The biggest change is in section 4. Please read the whole section carefully so that we can be sure that we are in general agreement here.

Near the end of that section, there is a topic for this list:

   When any of these six actions is reflected in the Datatracker, an
   email notification is sent to the WG mailing list by the Datatracker.
   [[ NOTE: at the Quebec meeting, there was a discussion about this
   requirement.  There was a concern that the mailing lists would get
   cluttered if a chair was making a bunch of changes at once.  Some WG
   chairs wanted to be able to suppress the message so that they could
   send a message themselves saying what was updated.  Other WG chairs
   wanted the messages to be batched, such as once a day.  Comments
   about this are solicited. ]]
