One argument for the restriction is to keep the WG focused on
producing what they stated they'd produce. I think it is possible
for a WG to state intheir charter that they may create related
Recommendations and Reports, but outside that, I would think it is
a scope creep problem.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all -<br>
<br>
A question came up recently regarding the procedures for
handling a Draft Report from the WG. The current OP is not
very clear on the subject (though it is reasonably clear on
the handling of Draft Recommendations). While there is some
additional guidance on the wiki (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/LC/LC+Approval+of+Group+Reports">http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/LC/LC+Approval+of+Group+Reports</a>)
, voted on in 2011 by the LC, that text conflicts with the OP
in new and confusing ways. In particular, it talks about
sending a Report out for an All-Member Ballot, which doesn't
happen with Reports.<br>
<br>
So, I am proposing to change the text in the OP.<br>
