There is understandable reluctance launching a work group
with such a nebulous charter after demonstrated reticence
converging toward a unified proposal. I too wish to see
progress made, but exclusionary tactics does not seem to be a
productive solution. With necessity being the mother of
invention, perhaps comprising a clearer set of goals within a
charter would be a good first step.
Yes .... exclusionary is impolite. sorry. If there is not a 'unified'
proposal,
A working group seems like a viable way to sort out the selection
of a single proposal. I'd rather see this happen in a working group.
Your comments on the scope of the proposed charter are valid, and
Could be addressed by specific editorial suggestions. While
success would be guaranteed by the working group starting with
a single nearly complete proposal, this does not appear to be
happening. If there are to be multiple proposals, they
should be subjected to a selection process with a clear time-line.
