      • The second bucket of group are tougher issues and the discussion is brisk.
        • Side note: comments get blown away when we restructure the wiki pages so comments have to be copy/pasted.
    • Working Groups? Mic Bowman
      • The working groups issues have been largely rolled into the project issues.
      • The problems faced in running working groups is that participation is decreasing. It's a function over time. They started with lots of enthusiasm and then fade over time.
        • It takes a great deal of work to keep a working group alive.
      • What actions does this task force need to take to make progress on getting things ready for the TSC to consider and vote on?
