Re: [gnso-ppsc-wg] Your feedback requested: Section 2.2. Working Group Member Roles and Responsibilities

["S. Subbiah" <subbiah@xxxxxxxxx>]

(1) MO comment. I think its fair since it asks the candidates to 
voluntarily address wheteherh they can fulfill the commitment that is 
expected of them in the guideline - the comment asking for a reference 
to /(described in Section 2.2)  (described Section 6.1.3)”/
(2) Rysg: I think this one we may need to discuss more during call.

(3) GD: This goes back to matter of exprtise and you know my positions 
on these. If we cannot even voluntarily ask someone to tell us what 
their expertise is (whether or not we believe them), then at the very 
least when forming a sub-team (presumably to address a specific topic 
requiring some more specific expertise) one would think we could put in 
some minimal expertise consideration in some light-touch fashion. Guess 
we will discuss this.
