Thanks for the above. I would not describe the decision as "shocking" as it would be an exaggeration. In my opinion, there are difficult questions ahead. The text which you quoted is one example. <tp> I took part in the questionnaire and was surprised at the number of questions about fees but then took it for granted that a fee would be charged; I still feel that any interested party can take part, join the mailing lists, submit I-Ds and so on. Unless and until meetings have primacy over list decisions - and some WG Chair can act as if this was not the case:-( - then I see no change.
