More and more often. We will increase the relationship between QA and 
activities. What could be good in fact, is that QA seems to be 
something transparent and absolutely evident for all people (a 
dream!). At this stage we have not yet defined a formal process and 
it's not sure there will be. We're still experimenting.

QA members work will have to organize, coordinate, help, ... 
depending on the model chosen by the WG. We will have to produce 
deliverables, guidelines, etc. plus reviews of specifications.

Seduce people, strong diplomacy, convince that it's a benefit for everyone.

We will have also to review the charter of new Working Groups to make 
a formal requirement for QA/TS in the process of a new activity.
