I agree with you about grouping by broadcast standard or country.

What do you think about creating task forces by matter of concern and  
interest? (as needed)

In other words, I would like to discuss, hum... said a certain way,  
recruiting and human resources management on the IG. (of course,  
volunteers)  I guess the current initial chairs (four!) with Kaz will  
be sufficient workforce to process the spadework for realizing  
effective discussions on the IG's ML, if all of the chairs have  
sufficient dedication and performance.  For now, I myself am prepared  
to work hard at least for six months.  But I do not know how much  
other three chairs are permitted by their organization.  I know, to  
begin with, the spadework is not the chair's work.  But with no  
spadework, we will proceed very slowly.  And what I can expect for our  
workforce now is only those five persons.  Because once we let the IG  
public, the participants is less conscious of the need for their  
dedication.  I now agree with you that the IG should be public, so I  
would like to build or at least clarify what drive the IG forward.  I  
would like to discuss the possibility for the task forces to be  
responsible for the preparatory work regarding given topics.  Do you  
think it will work?

Yosuke
