<p>Your active contribution to the RPD is appreciated, Sylvain.
While not holding brief for the current co-chairs &&
while agreeing that we could do better in terms of timely
execution, I think that for any number of reasons, an earlier
announced date could have been missed - especially if nobody
made comments on the subject matter and/or we all
forgot/neglected to check on the progress on the list. <br>

Dear Dewole, <br>
<p>
Thanks for your comment. <br>
Discussing with those who have been active PDWG members for a long
time is always <br>
instructive to me.<br>
</p>
<p>You got my point, for sure, and i understand yours.</p>
...but permit me to clarify something in *mine*. <br>
<br>
As you have said, it is possible that all of us forget a (<i>or some</i>)
given *deadline*.<br>
It is even normal that some of us forget all the deadlines.<br>
<br>
...but if all of us are forgetting all our deadlines, then there is
a *huge problem* ; and <br>
we (<i>or someone</i>) should ring the bell earlier. Right ?<br>
<br>
My *personal* conclusion :<br>
+ We need a *timekeeper* {<i>Do we already have one ? two ?</i>}<br>
+ Fortunately, we already have two *timekeepers* <br>
+ Our WG Chairs are our timekeepers, and yes we *should* help them
to act accordingly<br>
+ Even if it could be difficult to understand that two timekeepers
may forget *all* the <br>
deadlines... :-)<br>
+ We can aggree when a deadline needs an extension. {<i>Varying the
Process is also possible</i>}<br>
+ Flexibility of deadlines *should* be an exception.<br>
+ etc.<br>
<br>

<p>As to your concern about someone getting the opportunity to
make a late comment because he forgot the deadline and the
co-chairs did not close on the set date, I think you should look
at it like this:<br>
If the late comment is reasonable (apart from its late timing)
and helps us make better policy, this group and its chairs will
have to take it into consideration regardless of the missed
timelines. I believe consideration of reasonable inputs should
supersede strict timelines.<br>
</p>

Thank you for explaining this operational practice, i'll be glad
to try it intime ;-) <br>
...though, i see it as an *exception*, by the way i recently chose
to not send comments <br>
and questions because it was too close to the deadline.<br>
<br>
Hopefully, we will always try to improve the PDP even if just
operationally.<br>
<br>
Shalom<br>
