[CCWG-ACCT] Work plan in January

Hi,

I am not into rushing.
And certainly not into rushing for rushing sake.

But we have committed ourselves to getting the work done and we have a
world of people waiting for us to make and end of it. We have been
slipping our schedule.  While the reasons for slipping the schedule may
be legitimate  (not always certain of that) it does not mean we haven't
slipped on promises. We continue to slip.  I think this commits us to do
our best to just keep putting one foot in front of the other and
continuing to do our best to get the work done.  That is not done by
taking a leisurely time, but is one the aided by focusing on the work
intensively.

I still think we should be considering intensive online working weekends. 

I also think it may be time for the members among us (I am not one) to
do some deciding on the issues where we still do not have full
consensus.  For example, if at the end of the intense work period in
January we are still arguing about some details, they should decide on
those issues, we should document that fact, and move on.
