[Internal-cg] Fwd: Consensus call: Community comments handling

Colleagues:

I think we are somewhat talking past each other.

We assemble the final proposal and do not draft the proposal parts. If a 
proposal specific comment comes to us we have one action and 3 choices:

- The common action is to read what has been sent to us through some 
mechanism.  Not each person would need to read all messages or we may 
get them in digest form rather than real time or we may have a 
designated process of who reads what.  Para one of the text suggests 
that receipt of the comment be acknowledged.   That should not be very 
troubling.

Choices:

a.  We decide that the comment we received is worthy of our own follow 
up and it inspires us to ask the same or related question(s) to the 
proposal drafters. This we have the ability to do at all times.
b.  As the comment goes to a proposal as opposed to our process or the 
joint proposal, we are not in a position to properly answer the 
question.  As such we could forward the question to the correct 
community, on the chance that the asker of the question may not have 
also addressed the community.
c.  Since we are working transparently, I assume all of the questions we 
receive will be available online.  If a community commits to keeping 
watch for relevant comments then we don't have to worry about forwarding 
comments.

Options b and c in no way limit our rights and abilities under a.  b and 
c are merely concepts that assure the greatest transparency and 
assurance that comments are routed to those groups best able to address 
them.  It takes a no wrong door approach to comments and helps assure 
that those not familiar with the consultation process are also able to 
get their questions heard.

best-

Joe
