Continue with present time: Thursdays at 4 ET. Reagle will work to find an earlier time if possible that is more convenient for Europeans. The time is likely to be inconvenient for Hiroshi in Japan regardless. Presently, Lipp is the only European involved, Reagle is willing to conference him in from his home.

While it is useful to have proposals handy as they provide a nice instriument of consideration it is easier to build a document and WG concensus by starting with a small document/outline and growing the issues, consensus, and accepted proposals from it. Also, it means -- even with a crufty document with holes -- that everything has some status with respect to WG consensus, so it is easier to get external comment/feedback.
