Re: [council] Call for Volunteers: IGN-INGO Protections Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group Members

[Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

This message is a bit unclear as to the intent. 
It is a call for WG members but then immediately 
talks about what the DT will do.
My assumption is that the first task of the WG 
will be to act as the DT. Correct?
