Re: First pass at use cases for "new standards" task force

As an observation, these use cases are very "standards centric," which is
fine, but I wonder whether there is a need for a broader range of
activities, or at least include an "other" category?

Examples:  a group wants to:

-  promote an informal standard as its next step
-  collaborate on a white paper on an appropriate topic
-  develop a test suite
-  discuss the need for a metastandard incorporating existing standards to
perform a different kind of use case (e.g, "a user wants to be able to do
this...")
