Bob,

Procedurally both ways are acceptable. The decision should be based on opportunity

Please see attached the draft of the AHG report, which I am going to present next week at the WG11 (MPEG) meeting. Your comments are highly appreciated, silence will be considered as approval of the draft (to be finalized by the end of day tomorrow, July 25).


Vladimir's draft AHG report says:



AHG recommends to postpone the promotion of the WD to the Committee Draft stage until the Call for Proposals for color font technology is issued and the responses are evaluated. 


If the current OpenType list discussion is any indicator, I would think the color font discussion could go on for quite a while before coming to consensus, and I don't like the idea of rushing it through.

Thus I wonder if it wouldn't be better to recommend just the opposite, namely that the current WD get promoted to Committee Draft as it is and let the color font CFP and discussion continue as long as needed to reach consensus.

But I admit to being relatively ignorant of the processes involved.

Bob
