[Talk-us] Legal Research

[Ian Dees]

Hi Steve,

I assure you that there is nothing secret about this process, its
intentions, or the result. If you read the blog post (0) and the wiki page
(1) that Alyssa posted you will find as much information as we have right
now. Heck, you can even come talk to us face to face at the town hall and
ask us questions there. We will continue to post about our progress and I'm
sure we'll have at least one more town hall in the future.

As has been mentioned before, the LWG and OSMF were and are involved in
this process.
