When AC representatives send their review of a Proposed Recommendation to the mailing list created for that purpose, the mail software acknowledges the receipt, with a message similar to the following:
Dear Advisory Committee Representative, Thank you for your review of the <chocolate cookie recipe> Proposed Recommendation[1]. The review period ends on <25 Dec 1999> and the director's decision will be published a fortnight after that date, in conformance with the W3C Process[2]. We also invite the Membership to participate in the announcement in the event that the Proposed Recommendation should become a W3C Recommendation. All W3C Members are invited to participate in our press activity by submitting supporting testimonial statements. We will accept quotes for the release until and including <Monday 20 Dec 1999>. Upon request by journalists, we would also like to pass on contact information of companies who have contributed testimonials. This press release will use the same three-part format (release, testimonials, fact sheet) as previous W3C press releases. Please refer to this format in the CSS2 Recommendation press release[3].
