gv: much progress on issues - see how much shorter the keyword report is http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/issue-tracking/keyword_report.php
... need to document rationales

lgr: working on closing issues asap
... have some difficult issues that we might not be able to resolve, and should defer to future version
... while we have small number of issues remaining, they're the most difficult ones; they won't get easier for waiting so we've gotta push

de: some too important to push off

cs: thought we weren't doing WCAG 3

gv: need to achieve consensus on these issues, delay when absolutely necessary

lgr: some problems we don't know how to solve, e.g., cognitive, think better to deal with them later than hold WCAG 2 open

gv: and technologies may evolve in ways we can't predict
