[Ws2-hr] Report to CCWG

[Niels ten Oever]

Hi Paul,

I am a bit hesitant to add an overview of different views of members of
the group, but I will try.

In the meantime I would still be very interested to hear from you how
you think we could approach this, with the limited resources of our
group and in conjunction with the current understanding of applicable
law we're working on.

Best,

Niels
