There are a number of low hanging errors that can be eliminated before we get to the more complex cases where we need to get the input of everyone. Also, consider the fact that in a project this size, there is probably no time that is good enough for every one. By starting the refinement now, and taking our time to get it right (I do not have an arbitrary deadline before which policy must be fixed and rushed out of the door), we are more likely to get a document that is in good shape. If you think you can only participate in the process after Etch is released, that is fine. Policy is not going anywhere. manoj -- You don't move to Edina, you achieve Edina.
