Totally agree with you Blair. I should have been more verbose in my
explanation of sending this. We have UC elections coming up, rather
important as everyone knows, being that the UC has gone from 3 appointed to
5 elected. We still have work to do re SIGs and have already taken a couple
actions which we are polishing up announcement regarding. Approving this
document resolves some current needs of the UC in particular as noted from
this week's meeting and does not mitigate the focus to move towards SIGs.

We have a method/process to discuss SIGs going forward and look for that to
be more organic, added to and taken from, over time as we understand SIG
successes and failures specific to our community so do not consider SIGs
for this for right now. Working Groups in the current context are
temporary, once they complete a specific task, they disband - think AUC
Recognition WG. Teams are permanent in that they have long term goals and
offer continued support of the long term goals of the UC - think Product
Team (personally I stopped used Product WG some time ago). Some folks might
ask why Product Working Group is not Product Team and one such reason is
this document not being ratified/approved yet. Unfortunately we are in
between a rock and a hard place with SIGs moving forward but we do not want
to neglect current/previous work in light of SIGs. Hopefully this offers
more understanding and if more information is needed please do ask.
