I am enclosing the doc with the 4 themes, including this one, that we
suggested in Feb, with some elaboration of each. It does pick up some of
APC's earlier docs.

Think, the basic idea is the same as APC is trying out. There is no specific
proponent of this idea in the IGC, as far as I can remember. And don't worry
about treading on toes, we are all wearing hard boots, and are battle
hardened :)

We can wait for your confirmation, or Michael can convene the working group.
I will like to be in the group too. Anyone else? Karen, I am sure you can be
in the group right away even if not convening it.
