Another good option. What would you think about requiring that each 
report contain the following elements?

   (a)  a detailed overview of the proposal;

   (b)  a full analysis of who and what systems
        might be impacted by the proposal;

   (c)  the specific steps that would be necessary 
        to take to implement the proposal;

   (d)  the costs and risks, if any, of implementing
        the proposal and how they would be be borne;

   (e)  a statement of which stakeholders have
        been consulted about the proposal and what
        support the proposal has in the various
        stakeholder communities.

(These come from the list suggested in an earlier post by a WG-D member, 
see:
http://www.dnso.org/wgroups/wg-d/Archives/msg00158.html)

Such a proposal might also have a place for "rebuttals," so that once 
each group had read the others' reports, they could have time to draft a 
short reply.

It might then be helpful to publish the report for a public comment. You 
might even allow each group to revise (hopefully, compromise) their 
reports prior to submitting a final output of the WG to the NC.

I encourage others to join this thread, as we need to have something 
specific to send to the NC by the middle of next week.
