[governance] Help from MAG colleagues

[Izumi AIZU]

Roland and Jeremy,

I am on the CSTD WG, and what your wrote is largely true, but,
one of the motivations for me to get selected is the have somewhat
more coordination amongst the CS based members of the WG
so that if not united, we keep coherent voices from CS more effectively.

We are not doing too good, I admit, say compared with Business
and technical community,as they have regular meetings in the
morning and evening, mostly, but we are doing our best,
thanks to your [positive] pressures ;-)

Of course on certain areas five of us (Wolfgang, Anriette, Marilia, Parminder
and myself) do not share one view or positions, since often
civil society members have very diverse views, backgrounds and
expertise that is our strength, not weakness.
