[governance] tick, tick, tick...

[Carlos Afonso]

It is a good suggestion, not only because there is a good chance they 
will be in Rio, but also because they are involved in the pertinent 
debates (otherwise they would not be proposing or joining workshops) -- 
the same is valid fot the DCs, but I think many wkps people map into the 
DCs people. Unfortunately, the descriptions we have of the workshops do 
not include actual names of people in a clear manner in most cases, so 
we will have to do some "data mining" here.
