OK, I understand that it of course would be nice to have a little more
time. But I also understand that we agree that the rules on one month
notice on documents do not apply here. What was scheduled for yesterday
was quite normal in ISO, a ballot resolution meeting very close to the
completion of the ballot. I often do this just one or two days after the
ballot has closed. And this is within the rules of ISO/IEC as I
described earlier - as it is under the authority of the project editor.
Actually the ballot resolution is in principle not related to national
bodies - national bodies are morally obliged to attend a ballot
resolution meeting if they have voted no, and it would be good if the NB
attends if the NB  has commented, but there are no rules that they do
need to attend, and the project editor can go on with issuing the
disposition of comments even if the NBs with comments did not attend. 
The situation with liaisons is even weaker - liaison organisations do
not have a vote.

However, in the interest of concensus, I do not see any problem in
delaying issuing the disposition of comments till something like
Tuesday.  It is up to the project editor and he can decide to wait these
few more days, and take into account the discussion that you can provide
out of OASIS.

OK, I was mistaken on the COR number.
