And I wondered if the same thing was true of the people at the CSTD WG,
so I had an email exchange with Jeremy about it, a couple of weeks ago.

He endorsed my perception that they are:

        people speaking "in their personal capacity", who got their
        place at the table via the Caucus's nomination process.

and he added:

        they are not expected to all speak with the same voice.
