take this forward in this manner, this is to point to a technical

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

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"?<br><br>
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.<br><br>
Hope that helps.<br><br>
