Endorsement of edw54

[Merrilee_Proffitt at notes.rlg.org]

I agree with Christian, and would like to see an updated version that
addresses the proposed revisions.  So for the time being, I vote B.

I'll forward my comments on again, if I need to.  Just say the word, Lou.

In light of Lou's  other post "Naming of Things", I do not see where
EDW54 says that WG heads are "ex officio" Council members.  This has
not been stated before (I think) and if that is the fact, I feel it
should be mentioned in EDW54.  I vote "B" therefore.

All the best,

Christian
