As VBWG chair, I am a bit nervous about a joint deliverable. They are extremely tricky to work out and have the disadvantage that a delay in either group delays overall progress. However, dedicated workers can overcome most of these problems. Personally, I agree with Debbie that a separate, dedicated Working Group has the double advantages of clear focus and easier IP commitments. -- dan (Speaking as both individual and VBWG chair in this email) > > -AB > > > > >
