May 2004
Standalone vs. Amendment
1. Opinion and emotional ties
2. Perception of inclusion
3. Either way can be and has been argued
4. ASTM has a standalone doc, and WAVE is trying to avoid just being handled like BlueTooth was in
5. Concern over what is or is not important to review and get right

Bottom Line
SG has taken several votes about the issue of Standalone vs. Amendment.
WG has taken several votes
Abstains have become a more significant group
Request each WG member become informed, and make their mind up and vote rather than abstain.
