RE: [RPRWG] Contribution Review Process Question?
It might help the contribution process if the authors of the
drafts which are posted to the web make FrameMaker or MS-Word
versions of these documents available in addition to the pdf files.

ions.htm, nu_draft_01.pdf, and zz_draft_01.zip. It is only by understanding
these documents that we will be ready to make good progress at the next
meeting where we are likely to be presented with updates and refinements to
them. In addition to reviewing the drafts, please post your concerns,
comments, and suggestions for improving both drafts to the reflector so that
we can all come into the November meeting significantly ahead of where we
are now.
