Re: [ga] working group to design a better RAA

[Hugh Dierker <hdierker2204@xxxxxxxxx>]

I take this as some concrete interest. 
  We need a chairperson for the WG.
  Sotiris has been mentioned and I will also mention Danny.
   
  It would be most appreciated if more will step forward to participate and Sotiris and Danny would respond. The forum for the group will be right here and all inclusive, using threads to delineate subjects and topics. Everyone can participate, but an actual group should be established of those with extreme interest and for agreeing on consensus positions.
  I would hope that minority viewpoints will be respected and reflected.
   
  I will take it upon myself to force someone to run this WG using my beauty and charm to coerce. However in that I am limited in such an arena I beg for someone to step forward.
