5.2.4 Call for Participation in a Working Group or Interest Group

  "If a charter includes deliverables that continue work on a
  document"
  This is the first time this concept appears in the document and it
  is introduced with no explanation. The concept is developed in
  5.2.6 (see my comments about that section). The sentence in 5.2.4
  is repeated in section 5.2.6. I think 5.2.4 can be simplified to
  just include a reference.
  Proposal: Replace
     "If a charter includes deliverables that continue work
      on a document for which a Reference Draft or Candidate
      Recommendation has previously been published (i.e there has
      been an Exclusion Opportunity per section 4.1 of the W3C Patent
      Policy [PUB33]), the Director must not issue a Call for
      Participation less than 60 days after the beginning of the
      Advisory Committee Review of the charter."
   with:
     "See section 5.2.6.1 for information about a Call for
      Participation in a Working Group that has taken up a
      specification from another group."

  Discussion
  CMN: I disagree. It is spelled out here because this 
  is the first time someone reading in order will come across 
  it. If anything I would make the reference *backward*, but I
  believe it is reasonable to keep the two statements. On the 
  other hand, others have expressed opinions on both sides of 
  that question so let's see what comes out of the review overall 
  and do that.
  SZ Assessment: further review did not occur, so no change
  is justified.
  Rejected
