Thanks for the tutorial, it was interesting, for me in particular since 
I've done many such intro for W3C newcomers.

One thing that I didn't hear about, or that I may have missed, relates 
to the ICANN or GNSO process used by the WG chair(s) to reach consensus 
and declare the work ready to go to its next step (e.g. a public review, 
a board review, a final version).

That includes the role of the WG deliverable editors, how they can 
change the document under the chair authority, the use of version 
management, etc. More generally, how agreements are reached within a 
group, how the consensus is declared, and using what tool ?

One important feature of our system is the obligation for our groups to 
track their issues transparently using some "standard" semantics for 
various terms such as open issue, closed, pending review, postponed, 
etc. To advance through their various steps (toward a standard, or a 
deliverable, more generally) the chairs must check that all issues have 
been adequatly resolved/postponed (and since the tracking is public most 
of the time, it's impossible to hide something or forget it).

For instance, for this Timed Text W3C group (related to caption for 
video), you can see their active list of issues at
   https://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/TT/tracker/
and check where they stand, but also, for each issue, you can follow 
down the links to the specific email exchanges about the issue (if you 
want to read how the decision ended up that way for instance).

Anyway, I'm interested in knowing if tooling of that sort is available 
at ICANN, or in the GNSO, how it'sused, or if each WG operates in an 
adhoc way (e.g. the chair is responsible for tracking, however she 
prefers to do it).

Thanks.
