Seconded. If people could enumerate (briefly) their concerns with the
current draft and post them to this list by Wednesday, I will incorporate
such points into the agenda for specific discussion. I'm not talking
about the character set question which can (I hope) be pretty quickly
resolved but more about any philosophical underpinnings described in the
document. If nothing comes up we'll use the time to review the draft URN
specification (Peter Deutsch and Chris Weider) which will probably be
have to be revised in light of Karen and Larry's document.
