take this forward in this manner, this

people here would just say, yes, even if when they agree to the whole
lot, then say yes + thematic working groups. This would let to the
erroneous impression that they do not support thematic groups... Since
many agreed immediately to Bill's proposal of this change, I do think
that the general feeing in the group is for keeping this in. I suggest
you just put it in the statement, and give the option to people to vote
yes, or yes, but minus WGs.... Sorry, if this sounds bothersome. Just
trying to help :)<br>

<div>It was your proposal originally, posted on 21 January. It made
its way into the draft posted on 27 January. McTim disagreed with it
and argued it be struck. Bill asked to change the wording by removing
"of MAG members plus outsiders". Lee agreed with Bill's email
generally (not mentioning this part in particular). So did I miss it
when "many agreed immediately"?</div>

Lee agreed. McTim also agreed to it.... Two agreeing within 24 hours is
'many' in the context of the present level of participation :) . I also
believe there is in fact good enough consensus on the WG idea,
broadly... We have had statements earlier on this. <br>

<div>I'm actually not convinced there is a a consensus for new
thematic working groups (much as I may like the idea). Consequently
I'm not going to change the options to voting YES or YES - WGs, because
that will only confuse people more. As a compromise however I am happy
to query those who voted just YES off-list, and ask them to revise
their vote on-list if they really meant YES + thematic working groups.</div>
