 <CLO>  Yes  and we also ask for the AC/SO to appoint a Liaison etc.,
(another matter for our ALAC Agenda Tue) in keeping with the draft
WG Procedures under consideration in the GNSO at the moment...

 <CLO>  I finally want to point out that not only should all those on the
SOAC-mapo list  be assumed to be a WG participant (subject to thier
confirmation  etc., but that we also need to reach out to At-Large and
of course further into the GNSO Constituencies to encourage more keen
involvement as well as be joined by  the GAC (who may join as a whole I
believe) so do spread the word that a call for WG / DC Membership  => either
confirmation or addition  I assume will  be going out as well and needs to
be promulgated widely...  IMO
