That's not what the W3C Process Document section on WG deliverable
says: 

| In  addition to  the  deliverables  specified in  the Working  Group
| charter, a  Working Group will  post its intermediate results to the
| public Web site at three-month intervals.

In effect, you can witness the discussion happening in some of the
W3C public list archives:
 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public
(e.g. www-svg)

"Proposed Recommendation" is when W3C has its *membership* to express
their opinion.
