Not sure if it's restricting them what it'll help but we definitely  
need to help with some concrete things asap and clear roadmap in order  
not to loose focus.

Hmmm... GSA is not represented in the Group yet (I hope it'll be soon  
though), just an individual called Rick Murphy... :)

This is very interesting stuff but... how do you envision it will fit  
with the charter?
I think that probably the most useful way would be in showing others  
the way and the lessons learned, benefits and issues found.
