That is in my eyes a rather crude mischaracterization or
misunderstanding of the proposal.

This is very very close to the ECTF proposal; as far as I can see

broader scope in that it is designed to be able to address, without
need for a new major battle for creating each additional working-group,
any number of such issues.
