Ah, I see your point. That's an interesting approach. Just curious,
but is there any precedent for this approach elsewhere, either within
the IETF or perhaps a private enterprise?

We need to decide on this structure asap, so if anyone in PWG-land
has any useful comments or suggestions, please post them as quickly
as possible, as the JMP group desparately wants to nail down their
draft text before the turn of the millennium.

I would propose that the official structure be decided on during the
upcoming December PWG meeting in Los Angeles, unless of course, there
are no substantive objections to plan as proposed by Harry and Ron
(via the JMP group).
