Thanks, I must have missed this conversation; happily, I'm not alone in that.  
When did the Council discuss this?

Ok, but I wasn't suggesting a discussion about the procedural aspects of CWGs

Where's the topic specified, do we have a list of discussion questions per 
previous?

Thanks much,

Bill
