Re: [council] Motion to extend PPSC and OSC charters

[Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's clear that the 2 SCs need to continue to work. Just our recent 
conversations re such things as the DOI recommendations or the voting 
procedures show that more work needs to be done. However, I would also like to 
ask where we are with regards to the oversight committee that there was talk of 
forming? Could that not also help move things in the right direction?

Thanks,

Stéphane
