6. Straw Poll for All Remaining Deferred Comments (in London)
March 2007
Straw Poll for All Remaining Deferred Comments (in London)
From London
The Task Group examined each of the deferred comments remaining in 11-06/0872r23
The following question was asked for each of the deferred comments:
Is the draft considered to be technically complete without resolution of this comment?
A new column in 11-06/0872r23 was added for recording each straw poll result
After taking the straw polls, we again went over the list to look at the results
On comments for which the results showed > 75% agreement, we asked again,
Would members of the group object to a block motion to decline this comment?
These CIDs are collected in a motion on the next slide
A single objection was enough to keep the comment as “deferred”
“Decline” here means we don’t need to resolve the comment before going to LB
It does not mean the comment is not a legitimate comment!
Members are free to resubmit the comment during a LB review
