<DIV>Hi Chuck. I appreciate your points regarding the WG and potential for
flexibility. But I agree more with what Philip has written in the document. I
am not yet convinced that such flexibility is possible to the extent that
we can rely only on WGs. I think it should continue to be explored, but I
believe its too early to completely dump the Task Force option. We need more
experience, trial and error, etc. with WGs.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=671574813-21112007>As agreed on
yesterday's Council call, I promised to draft a short paper as a "straw

by Council as a whole.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=671574813-21112007>Given the
deadline is submission by 30 November I thought I'd better get a move
on.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=671574813-21112007>- improvements

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=671574813-21112007>- improvements

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=671574813-21112007>- greater

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=671574813-21112007>On working
groups, I am proposing a partial support, suspecting we mostly feel they
will work for much policy work, but that tying our hands to have ONLY

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=671574813-21112007>Comments can
be as simple as - "yes I/we support" or can be proposals to strike
