Apart from >> that, we seem to be doing the right thing: - The IAB Chair announced >> the text and the intent to sign it on 1 Aug. > > Two weeks is normal process for spontaneous consensus calls? 1 Aug to 24 Aug strikes me as nearly four weeks, not two. If you want to propose that Russ add four more days, I'm sure your suggestion would be considered.

Comments may be sent to iab@xxxxxxx. >> I any case, I recommend that you make specific, constructive suggestions about what we *should* do at this point.
