      CSA:  [This is a comment, not a provision]
It would be useful for picking up this activity in the future and for 
anyone entering the discussion in the middle for the poll to include 
reference to available working group material that provides more 
details about the situation.

Results are based on responses from 9 out of 10 members (90%).

CMC E-Poll Identifier:  CMC-P-2007-11-001 Ad-Hoc Editor for Working Groups

Results of CMC poll beginning 1 November 2007 and ending 21 November 2007:

                 ADOPT:  5 (55.56%) (ASI, CSA, DLR, JAXA, NASA)
   ADOPT PROVISIONALLY:  3 (33.33%) (BNSC, CNES, INPE)
                REJECT:  0 (0%)
  REJECT WITH COMMENTS:  1 (11.11%) (ESA)

      BNSC:  This is not a provision, but a comment. I think it would 
be useful if we could point to examples of documents that are 
particularly good in terms of adhering to the publications manual.
      CNES:  1) The editorial responsibility is then shared between 
secretariat and ad-hoc editor. It should be made clear who will 
evaluate that the document has reached "reasonable editorial quality" 
and then the responsibility of next improvements is with the 
secretariat ; in my view this falls under the WR chair or AD but it 
should be stipulated in the resolution.
2) The case of the maintenance of existing documents was not 
addressed. If not on purpose, it could be recommended that the same 
applies for those documents with an even more reasonable objective of 
cleaning the main deviations from the Publications Manual.
      ESA:  It is not a full rejection. We need something in that 
direction, but may also need to discuss alternatives.
We have many WGs, thus this will lead to as many WG Ad Hoc Editors 
with different interpretations / styles of what should be a quality 
standard. We would need prior that very clear guidelines (annexe to 
the publication document).
An alternative would be to have Area Ad Hoc Editors.
      INPE:  This is not a provision, but a comment. Most opportune 
the pertinent comment made by BNSC. Indeed, it would be most 
convenient that each 'Ad-Hoc Editor' may be informed about and have 
easy access to a collection of exemplifying, publications manual 
adherent documents that may serve as a practical reference, in 
support to his/her editorial work.
