Hi,<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I tend to agree. E.g. I support the WG proposal completely and think the proposal allows us the leeway to define them in a way that works and is flexible. I would, therefore, be uncomfortable with a statement that indicated that GNSO had consensus in stating that we feel that we should be wary of WGs. So while I can live with the statement we have that says they need a lot of thought and we want flexibility, I become uncomfortable as we had more caveats.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>a.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br><div><div>On 27 nov 2007, at 13.14, Thomas Keller wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"> <div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="220401112-27112007"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Philip,</font></span></div> <div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="220401112-27112007"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span> </div> <div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="220401112-27112007"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">I guess the problem is that we all agree on WG but to a different degree.
