MikeG: Send out bi-weekly email to the working group with listed changes they are reviewing. We let group know we have reviewed and inside the email division of changes - section for normative changes - most are not - most are minor or substantive editorial on non-normative guidance - although we can do errata on normative guidance. As long as
don't get into a situation where someone things we are changing the interpretation of the requirement. If that does happen we hold that for the next release. We can't add new - a new criterion. Our focus is tweaking requirements rather than any net new ones.
<alastairc> GreggVan - anything normative is going through the CFC process. The 500 is everything, including a few errata that have come to the AG separately, but it is mostly informative docs.
MikeG: The email lists the editorial and substantive and bug fixes or backend fixes and housecleaning stuff. The last is where we have a response only category.
<Zakim> bbailey, you wanted to react to bbailye
MikeG: Email contains closed issues and how to join instructions.
<Francis_Storr> I'll echo SteveF's comments from a few minutes ago - 500 issues is a big achievement and the Friday taskforce meeting is definitely a good one.

MikeG: We don't review issue by issue here - a lot of the ones in this list are bug fixes and if people find issues with those let us know- these are informative - the ones we are asking folks to look at is 10 issues. There is also a project board link.
