Bernard (or some other volunteer):

Bert is out, but I don't think this can wait.

I think it is great that AAA doctors has been created. But we also
need to make it work for document authors/WGs that get feedback.

In this case, a number of comments (some overlapping) were returned,
but there is frustration at the lack of clear process for resolving
the issues in a constructive fashion. In partcular...

We need to get discussion going out on the DHC mailing list or some
other open forum.

It is unclear whether the individual comments are supposed to be
anonymous or not. It is OK (if not ideal) for them to be anonymous,
but then we need someone who will act as a representative that will
deal with getting them resolved to mutual satisfaction.

It is unclear whether the comments have been registered in ID Tracker
properly (I would argue that if they do not show up as "discuss"
comments, they are not properly recorded). In any case, they are hard
to find...

So, could the AAA doctors please

- assign a person (or persons) to act as a shepherd for dealing with
  the issues for the document

- can we agree to a plan for getting the technical discussion on the
  issues moved to the DHC mailng list so we can get some sort of
  closure?

Thanks,
Thomas
