I would like to suggest a process revision: that no CG be created until 1 week has elapsed from its proposal. This gives (a really tiny amount of) time for AC and staff review. As I note elsewhere, this group’s name is inappropriate. A CG may be inappropriate for a whole host of other reasons. Is it really reasonable to complain that a group, proposed on a Sunday, has not been created by Monday morning?
