"If a bug resolution results in the document being split, we seem to be doing a
CfC for publishing the split parts as FPWD. "

I replied:

"Clarification: Publication of a new FPWD is a separate process from the
Decision Policy. Anyone can bring forward a draft at any time, and whether it
was produced as the result of a bug resolution is irrelevant. The existence of
a bug does not remove the need for the standard Call for Consensus that we do
in such cases.

Possible Policy Update: The Chairs believe that we should write a separate
document on the policy for publishing new documents as a First Public Working
Draft. We believe the requirements for a new publication should be fairly
minimal, but at the same time we feel it is only fair that the requirements
should be documented. This will likely be a separate document from the current
Decision Policy, but it may end up a new section in the current policy."

We should definitely document the FPWD requirements somewhere.
