One more clarification from my side seems to be required:
What I've wanted to say is that the process in WG2 would generally benefit
from having a proposal scrutinized by the UTC prior to its processing in
WG2. The actual sequence of the initial submissions is in my mind of no
particular importance, but the feedback from the UTC could lead to a
revision of the proposal before its WG2 processing.
Sincerely, Erkki

It is best for a proposal to be scrutinized by a wide range of
experts. When a proposal is submitted to the WG2 too close to a
meeting to allow proper scruntiny by all those concerned. If the
requirement was all proposals first go to the UTC this would add an
extra step to the process and hence slow things down. Once a doucment
is posted on the WG2 site it is public and can be scrutinized by
experts both UTC and otherwise. A document submitted to the UTC is
not publically available and therefore gets less scrutiny.
