Tom, in the first paragraph you include the following line:
"To proposals that are accepted it assigns a specific status."
Is there any reason not to be more specific? In the Usage Board
process document draft we used the word "accepted" when what was
meant was that the decision of the Board was that a proposal became
a DCMI Recommendation with a designated status of either X-Domain
or Domain-Specific. An alternative decision (depending on the
proposal) would be a DCMI Recommendation that something become
Obsolete. Could the sentence here perhaps be more specific?
I know that the process document still has this notion of
"non-acceptance" or "non-recommendation" which means nothing
more than that a proposal isn't going to become a DCMI Recommendation.
I'd really like to have us consider dropping this notion as a specific
status
--drop it both literally and from the UB process document leaving us
with a process in which the UB either brings a proposal forward as a
Recommendation (X-Domain, Domain-Specific, Obsolete) or it does
not (with explanation of why not).
