 toward standards infusion vs those who do not even maintain cognizance of the WG.  I believe this means we are better focused and have less “entropy” to contend with (which tends to be the “contribution” from those who don’t maintain WG cognizance, no matter

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">CMC, CESG and the Secretariat are discussing an update of the Procedure and Organization YB to improve the text when defining the criteria for joining the Working Group mailing lists, regarding external
 requests for individuals with no sponsoring Agency.</span> <br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Every WG will have its official WG mailing list for normal operation, but you may also, at your discretion, request creation of a "WG Info" mailing list for outreach. This mailing list will be broadly
 open to the public.</span> <br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">When discussing at CESG level, we also address the need for the WG Chairs to carry out a sanity check in their current mailing lists. There are some WGs with more than hundred members. Members with
 no sponsoring Agency have to be brought to the attention of the ADs.</span> <br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">You will find attached exports (produced by the Secretariat) for all members within the current open WGs and BoFs.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We kindly ask that the chairs perform changes to the mailing lists via the web interface.</span>
