At this point, the Chairs do not intend to resolve any remaining issues prior to Last Call.  A handful will remain designated as "Compliance Next" or "Global Considerations" for reconsideration in the future; the remaining we propose to batch close as duplicative of issues we've previously closed in other issues, resolved but awaiting group review, or otherwise superseded by events.  (The vast majority of these have been marked PENDING REVIEW for some time).  Here are the specific issues we propose to close prior to making a decision on Last Call (I tried to add notes to the issue tracker to provide some more background in case you're interested):

Er, we are still talking about 203 right now.  That's where the
"tracking data" discussion falls within.

All of the above should be closed.  147 and 150 are already addressed
by TPE, 189 was overtaken by events when the UGE mechanism changed
to be site-driven, and 183 is out of scope (we don't define protocols
that are region-specific).  135 would have been a potential deliverable,
which could be tracked as a product, but the taskforce abandoned it.
It can still be created later, if a reason arises.

Okay, these are issues related to future work.
