2. Options to get from 0738 to baseline draft • Document 0738 is not a baseline draft • Contains all different proposals • Was not approved by the group • Was not voted by the group • Baseline draft • Needs to be voted by the group • Needs 75% approval Potential ways to proceed with comment resolution • Reduce document 0738 down to 1 equivalent proposals • Vote to remove text • Document 0738 becomes baseline draft • Move approved parts to new document • Vote to add text • Approved section become part of baseline draft • Cleaner process because baseline text is explicitly approved by group • More positive to add text than to remove text Roberto Aiello
