Yeah, I think both make sense. I was assuming that intermediate step,
but is should be in the charter. There's not much point bothering with
proposed specifications if we can't agree on the scope.
And yes, I think it makes sense to make a combined use case and
requirements document available for public comment.
One minor question, though: would the TC first discuss and tentatively
approve the use case/requirements and then it would be available for
public comment, before some final decision based on them? Or would the
TC only consider the document after the public comment period?
