I'd just note that at the previous call we were able to process around 40
technical comments in 2 1/2 hours, and in this last call were barely able
to process 2, and along the way had some lengthy discussions about whether
we should word a request as, "We request that Ecma do..." versus "Ecma
should please consider...".
So when we compare our accomplishment in the last meeting with the level
of technical review being accomplished by the BSI, I think yes, we should
be embarrassed. We're not effectively performing our TAG duties for
INCITS or JTC1. That's my opinion.
I'll reply in more detail to your concerns, Stephen, in an email.
Regards,
-Rob
