I would not be so prescriptive.

The urgency of WS1 is over, all bar the cheering, or at least we 
confidently expect it will be, on Oct 1st.

We must now take a deep breath and address the important issues from 
first principles, not in the same haste or approximation as WS1.

The sub-group system is convenient for those who have particular skills 
or interests in the sub-group motivation, but we now have time to 
consider all relevant inputs, no matter whence they shall come.

Having said that, I would encourage particpation in the HR sub-group, 
naturally.
