Thank you Roelof for sending this interesting article and Mathieu for the illustrative graph. As DK is mentioned in this article, I would like to take the opportunity to clarify a little: We do believe that it is a challenging time line that we are working with, however, we also understand the need to keep momentum in our work - the CWG is dependent on it. Under these circumstances it becomes even more important that documents under discussion are easily available and accessible to all (also to people outside the CCWG). That was what I asked for in my initial comment. Everyone interested should be able to follow our work. Again, thanks to all involved for the hard work. Wishing you all a good weekend.

One sentence drew my attention : the number of active participants has dropped to dangerously low levels. Levels that no one is monitoring because all those remaining in the process are too overwhelmed with work. While the sentence is not specifically targetting the CCWG, as you know staff keeps track of participation on a regular basis. With Brenda and Alice's help I can confirm that participation to CCWG calls remains consistently around 50. Below is a quick graph to illustrate this.

It surprises me (or maybe it doesn't) that you quote me, without showing the courtesy of at least informing me beforehand. Additionally, I wonder if you have announced to us all that you are participating in the CCWG as a journalist. I am not aware of that, but might have missed something.
