Hi, I have never been a wg chair but I think that this document may be very useful and helpful (at least it clarifies many things to me). I have some comments: - To me Section 2.1 (Formal Steps) looks better after 2.2 (Criteria of Adoption). - Section 2.2 does not set up a criteria. It just ask questions, it would be good to set basic criteria at least. - Section 2.2, The paragraph under "REMINDER" it is very important but I am not convinced 100% how you raised the attention to it (by using "reminder") But I think that it is very important to point out this. - Section 3. Also not convinced about the "NOTE", it would be better to me to include it as part of the text (similar to my comment of "reminder" of section 2.2. - There are some questions in different parts of the document, for example "Shall it be adopted and entirely replace the current working group draft? Shall the new ideas be incorporated into the work of the working group through the normal editorial process? ..." I am not sure the purpose of those, I imagine that they are helpful questions to ask, if so I suggest to add something like this to clarify "Important questions that WG chairs should ask or consider are 'Shall it be adopted and entirely replace the current working group draft?'..."
