Nathaniel:  just to be clear, the proposed charter I submitted has just
the one item, completing CAP, and updates the several-year-old calsch
charter which is now entirely obsolete.  I might interpret your comment as
saying that this WG should not even adopt this amended minimal charter,
should not complete CAP, and should close immediately.  Or you might be
just disagreeing with the idea that 2445-7 revisions be in scope.  Can you
clarify?
