I'd also suggest that the degree of trust and licence given to the WGs
by FESCo is natural going to depend on what they do with it.

The fact that one of the earlier actions of this WG, before producing

founding principles...does not bode well for how much others involved in
the project are likely to trust it to act without oversight in the
