Well, a quick Google search shows that the 10/26/10 Board summary states that the CWG has a 1 year term. And frankly, it would have really been nice to have known beforehand, that the CWG had this little support from the Board because I would not have bothered wasting my time working on this. This is really just another example of why I feel the Board is the *last* place enforcement decisions should be made. The group does well with "Big Picture" ideas, but has a rather poor history of handling detail-orientated decisions.
