Hey Vincent!
I do expect this to happen at one point, yes. I don’t think doing it now is a sensible idea because I don’t want to risk deterioration of the discourse similar to what took place in the DS-015 discussion we had a few months ago. I don’t think we are compromising on trust or openness by keeping the conversation closed for now.
The point of providing read-only access to this forum afterward is to provide the “paper trail” for all major design decisions that shape the standard.
We are working on that already. The first item to decide upon is the problem of port-ID assignment, it is being discussed here: Port type safety enforcement Right now we are waiting for @dagar to submit his feedback on my proposal.
Having a well-defined timeline would certainly help. I am not at liberty to define one so perhaps we should seek input from @dagar and @tridge.
