that is seems to be the case, at least on a few people's part, but  
was not obvious earlier.   since it wasn't one of my issues or one on  
which i considered myself particularly well versed, it would have  
been useful to have had the wg active.  i know i joined this list,  
not becuase of any expertise in IP/PCT subjects but because i wanted  
to understand the WG's positions.

i guess it was my deficiency that i misunderstood the WG's  
intentions. i do know that before the WGIG's mandate was known, there  
was a very strong sense on this list that it should not be in the remit.
