Re: transitions to Working Group'

Thanks a lot Milton

its great to have some commitment  -

We need commitment  (especially in standardization) to be multilateral,
rather than  solely based on the needs/requirements of a single
individual/party to get enough credibility

Thanks for getting the ball rolling and Let's hope enough people will join
to make the effort stand on its feet , and lets check the form in a couple
of days, if the transition does not happen now, at the earliest opportunity
hereafter :-)
