I think the first one with a recommendation to use the approved
templates where possible.

It is an ongoing challenge to make word and other programs happy across
platforms.

Maybe we should soften that requirement to be a guideline, in
consultation with the LC, or simply a list of the required/prohibited
elements (must have logo, must state IPR regime, can't claim the
document represents all of Kantara...), with a non-normative link to
handy templates.

(I did offer to create other templates; I think we need a
Confluence-native one at the very least.)

	I think it looks good.

	The only comment I have is about templates adherence.  The ISWG
found the line numbers in the current templates problematic and have
published our most recent reports without them.  In one case, it was
impossible to get word to include the line #s in a PDF.  In both cases,
we found the line #s significantly detracted from the readability of the
prose.  So, although the reports were mostly in the template format,
they did not exactly meet it.

	As such, neither of those reports would, technically, meet the
requirements of this process.

	Could we either get templates without line numbers or clarify in
the process guideline that variations from the template are acceptable?

	Any comments?...

http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/LC/LC+Approval+of+Group+
Reports

	Background

	The Kantara Operating Procedures V1.1
<http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/download/attachments/2293776/KI
+Operating+Procedures+_V1.1_+2009-10-10.pdf>  define a Report as:

		"Report" shall mean any Work Group or Discussion Group
output that is not a Technical Specification that is approved by a
Majority of the Group and submitted to the Leadership Council. A Report
is not a branded product of the Organization (i.e. it is not submitted
for an All Member Ballot)." [Sec 1.7]

	The LC has authority to impose requirements on Reports for LC
approval:

		"In addition to development of the Draft
Recommendation(s) authorized in the Work Group Charter the WG may find
it appropriate to develop additional Reports. These Reports shall meet
any requirements established by the LC. Submission of a report to the LC
requires a Simple Majority approval of the WG." [Sec 3.9]

	Interpretation

	LC approval is not required in order for a group to produce or
publish a draft or final Report as a non-Kantara-wide output.

	Only LC-approved group Reports are given publicity through
Kantara marketing communications channels such as its blog and Twitter
feed. Thus, Report submission for LC approval is encouraged.

	LC approval serves two purposes: socializing the group's work
among the LC membership (peers of the group's own leadership team), and
formally acknowledging that the report has met the LC's requirements.

	LC approval of a Report is a prerequisite for forwarding the
Report to a Kantara Initiative All-Member Ballot.

	Requirements for Reports to Be LC-Approved

	The requirements (as mentioned in OPs Sec 3.9) that group
Reports must meet for LC approval are as follows:

	*	The Report must follow a currently published Report
Template
<http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/GI/Publishing+Templates
>  as appropriate to its stage of development.
	*	The Report must be duly approved by a simple majority of
the voting participants of the group.
	*	The Report meets basic document quality requirements for
spelling, formatting, etc. The LC will work with the group to address
any document quality issues to ensure that the Report is suitable as a
target for Kantara PR and marketing efforts.
