Right.

In looking through past tei-council messages, I've discovered reference 
to P5/ReleaseNotes/ , where we have been creating a new file for each 
release.  So it seems that:

1. tcw20 should be revised to say that people should add an <item> to 
the latest P5/ReleaseNotes/readme-N.N.N.xml that they find for any 
significant revision they make

2. tcw22 should be revised to say:

a) before a release, ask Council members to skim 
P5/ReleaseNotes/readme-N.N.N.xml and see if anything else comes to mind 
to add

b) after releasing, create a new file in 
P5/ReleaseNotes/readme-N.N.N.xml for the next release so that this is 
ready for editing

Does that sound right?
