<h2>0 - Specific Last Call Tracker Tool for each specification</h2>

<p>There are two Last Call Tracker Tools, one for each specification; API and
Ontology:</p>

<p>- API for Media Resource 1.0: <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/42786/WD-mediaont-api-1.0-20100608/">http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/42786/WD-mediaont-api-1.0-20100608/</a></p>

<p>- Ontology for Media Resource 1.0: <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/42786/WD-mediaont-10-20100608/">http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/42786/WD-mediaont-10-20100608/</a></p>

<p>This allows tracking comment wrt to the proper Specification.</p>

<p></p>

<p>The following guidelines are provided for the API specification. The same
process applies to the Ontology specification (using the Ontology Last Call
Tracker Tool and proper links. </p>

<p></p>

<h2><a name="L2196" id="L2196">1- The staff contact collects the Media
Annotation API Last Call comments</a></h2>

<p>For each Media Annotation API Last Call comment sent to <a
href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-media-annotation/">public-media-annotation@w3.org</a><a
href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-smil/index.html"></a>, the staff
contact makes a new entry in the Tracker tool, using the "<a
href="http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/42786/WD-mediaont-api-1.0-20100608/add">Add
a new comment</a>" link in the menu at the right of the page.<br>
When a message includes multiple comments, the message may be split into
multiple entries in the Tracker tool, to ease response by the WG.</p>

<p>The staff contact fills the following fields for each comment:</p>
<ul>
  <li>"<strong>URI of the message</strong>" from the <a
    href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-media-annotation/">public-media-annotation@w3.org</a>
    mailing archives.</li>
  <li>"<strong>Comment sent on behalf of</strong>" field with the name for
    example of a WG.</li>
  <li>"<strong>Comment</strong>" field. You may import the whole comment
    message or include partial text comment using one of the two
  checkboxes.</li>
  <li>"<strong>Short name for this comment</strong>" field (optional) but
    recommended ;-)</li>
  <li>"<strong>Section of the document concerned</strong>" field.</li>
  <li>Then, the staff contact clicks the "<strong>Add a new comment</strong>"
    button.</li>

<ul>
  <li>"<strong>ID number</strong>" field (<code>LC-xxxx</code>).</li>
  <li>"<strong>Name of the commenter</strong>" field</li>
  <li>"<strong>Email of the commenter</strong>" field</li>

  <li>"<strong>Type</strong>" field initially set to
  "<code>Substantive"</code></li>
  <li>"<strong>Message-ID</strong>" field (Message-ID from the initial message
    sent to archives)</li>
</ul>

<h2><a name="L2201" id="L2201">2 - People are assigned comments by
chair</a></h2>

<p>The Chair assigns each comment to a WG Participant. If you are assigned
comments, you are committed to draft a response to the comment. You are now the
editor of the response to that comment.</p>

<p>The Chair fills the following fields for each comment:</p>
<ul>
  <li>"<strong>Assigned to</strong>" field with the name of a WG participant,
    from the drop down menu list.</li>
  <li>Then, the chair submits the comment using "<strong>Submit</strong>"
    button.</li>
</ul>

<h2><a name="L2205" id="L2205">3 - Draft a WG Note</a></h2>

<p>Any WG Participant may add proposal, remarks, statement, to help the editor
of the response drafting a response. <br>
For example these can be initial remarks given by the WG during a telecon or a
F2F meeting. <br>
The "<strong>WG Notes</strong>" field provides hints discussed during the F2F
to help editor draft the response.</p>

<p>The WG Participant fills the following fields for the comment:</p>
<ul>
  <li>"<strong>Status</strong>" field updated to "<code>Pending"</code></li>
  <li>"<strong>WG Notes"</strong> field updated with your statement.</li>
  <li>If the comment is related to another comment, use the <strong>"Related
    issues"</strong> field to link to it. (if multiple related comments, use
    space separated ids).</li>
  <li>Then, the WG Participant submits the comment using "<strong>Submit as
    Proposal</strong>" button.</li>
</ul>

<p>Note: When the WG Participant submits the comment using "<strong>Submit as
Proposal</strong>" button, the "<strong>Status</strong>" field is automatically

    button.</li>
</ul>

<p>Note: In your response, draft only the technical solution. No need to write
name of the commenter, formulate courtesy, introduction, date of review, etc.
The Track tool will do it automatically. <a href="#Example">See response
example.<br>
</a>The "<strong>WG Notes</strong>" is not included in the response to
commenter. Only the "<strong>Resolution</strong>" field is included.</p>

<h2>5 - <a name="Resolution" id="Resolution">Resolution approved by MA
WG</a></h2>

<p>If you have received remarks from the WG about your proposed resolution,

<p>The Editor fills the following fields for each comment:</p>
<ul>
  <li>"<strong>Status</strong>" field updated to :<br>
    - "<code>Resolved-yes</code>" if the resolution is equal to the commenter's

</ul>

<p>Note: Once the "<strong>Status</strong>" field is updated to any of the 3
above "Resolved" status and Updated, the comment will then include new
"<strong>Resolution status</strong>" and "<strong>Response status</strong>"
sections, allowing to track advancement of resolution, spec editing and status
of response.</p>

<h2><a name="L1730" id="L1730">6 - Final resolution ready</a></h2>

  <li>"<strong>Resolution status:</strong>" checkbox "<code>Response
    drafted</code>" checked.</li>
  <li>The editor updates the comment using "<code>Update</code>" button.</li>
</ul>

<h2><a name="L2238" id="L2238">7 - Resolution implemented</a></h2>

<p>Fore each comment, the WG participant assigned the response to comment (the
editor) must make sure the necessary edits in the SMIL CR version are done. If
the editor of the response to comment is not the editor of the Section of the
document to be updated, he must coordinate with proper spec editor (s) of the
section which are impacted with the resolution. He will track and verify that
the spec has been correctly updated.</p>
<ul>
  <li>"<strong>Resolution status:</strong>" checkbox "<code>Resolution
    implemented"</code> checked.</li>
  <li>The editor updates the comment using "<code>Update</code>" button.</li>
</ul>

<h2><a name="L2254" id="L2254">8 - Send responses to commenter</a></h2>

<p>The staff contact sends the responses with the tracker tool using the "<a
href="http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/42786/WD-mediaont-api-1.0-20100608//replies">Send
replies to comments</a>" link, in the menu at the right of the page and,</p>
<ul>
  <li>Enters a deadline date by which commenters are asked to reply (allow a
    maximum of 10 days).</li>
  <li>Provides an optional URI of the updated specification</li>
  <li>May preview the final responses sent to commenters, if necessary</li>
  <li>The staff contact sends the comment using "<code>sending replies</code>"
    button.</li>
</ul>

<p>When comments are sent, the tracker tool will automatically check the
"<strong>Response status:</strong>" checkbox to "<code>Reply sent to
commenter"</code></p>

<p>Note: Tracker tool sends only the response to commenters when both
"<strong>Resolution status:</strong>" checkboxes "<code>Response
drafted</code>" and "<code>Resolution implemented</code>" are checked.<br>
</p>

<p>Note: The response includes all necessary info generated automatically by
tracker tool e.g. the name of commenter, formulate courtesy, introduction, date
of review, etc. <a href="#Example">See response example</a></p>

<h2><a name="L2269" id="L2269">9 - Commenter approves resolution</a></h2>

<p>When the commenter has sent a mail to public-media-annotation@w3.org
approving the WG response, the staff contact updates the comment for following
field:</p>
<ul>
  <li>"<strong>Response status</strong>" checkbox <code>"Commenter approved
    disposition"</code> checked.</li>
  <li>The staff contact updates the comment using "<code>Update</code>"
  button.</li>
</ul>

<p>The comment is now considered processed and closed.</p>

<h2><a name="L2284" id="L2284">10 - Commenter rejects resolution</a></h2>

<p>When the commenter has sent a mail to public-media-annotation@w3.org
rejecting the WG response, the staff contact updates the comment for following
field:</p>
<ul>
  <li>"<strong>Response status</strong>" checkbox <code><code>"Commenter
    objected to disposition"</code> checkbox.</code> checked.</li>
  <li>The staff contact updates the comment using "<code>Update</code>"
  button.</li>
</ul>

<p>When a resolution is rejected by a commenter, the WG should attempt to
satisfy the reviewer. In order to do so, the WG should discuss solutions on the
public mailing list www-smil@w3.org. Once a new proposal satisfies the
reviewer, the editor must proceed with</p>

<p>- Step 5 <a href="#Resolution">Resolution approved by MA WG<br>
</a>- Step 6 <a href="#L2238">Resolution implemented</a></p>

<p></p>

<p>Note: For each objection, the WG should attempt to satisfy the reviewer. If
no agreement is reached, the objection will be discussed during the Transition
meeting with the Director. See <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/online_xslt/xslt?xmlfile=http://www.w3.org/2005/08/01-transitions.html&amp;xslfile=http://www.w3.org/2005/08/transitions.xsl&amp;docstatus=cr-tr">Organize
Transition to CR.</a></p>

<p><em>Issue: What happens if at this phase the WG review its resolution to
satisfy the commenter and therefore updates the resolution field ? How can we
resend it to the commenter with tracker ?</em></p>

<h2><a name="L2315" id="L2315">11 - Generate the Disposition of
comments</a></h2>

<p>The Disposition of comments document is generated automatically by tracker
tool ;-)</p>

<h2><a name="Misc" id="Misc">Useful</a></h2>

<h3><a name="View" id="View">View comments</a></h3>

<p>Tracker tool offers 2 different views of the list of comments:</p>

<p id="detailed-list">1- The <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/42786/WD-mediaont-api-1.0-20100608/">detailed
editable view list </a>", available from the menu at the right of the page.</p>

<p>It provides an extended list of comments. Comments are showed 20 by page on
multiple pages if there is a large amount of comments.</p>

<p>For each comment it shows all fields, (Status, ID, Type, Assigned to, WG
Notes, Resolution).</p>

<p>It offers filtering capabilities for following fields:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Type</strong>: [<code>all, substantive, editorial, typo,
    question, general comment, undefined]</code></li>
  <li><strong>Status</strong> : [<code>all, open, proposal, pending,
    resolved-yes, resolved-no,resolved-partial, other]</code></li>
</ul>

<p>There is also a very handy "<strong>Quick acces to</strong>" allowing to
reach the editing mode of a particular comment for editing.</p>

<p>Note: Comments are ordered by Type, and the section they refer to.</p>

<p id="short-list">2- The <a

summerized view where each comment is listed on a single line with following
links:</p>

<p id="short-list1">- The ID links to the "Edit comment LC-xxxx" page.<br>
- The commenter's name links to his comment archived in the public mailing
list<br>
- Section links to the section concerned by the comment <br>
- Type: [ <code>substantive, editorial, typo, question, general comment,
undefined]</code><br>
