[CWG-Stewardship] On draft reply to SSAC

Hi, In the item 3.b. question 2 draft response, it isn't clear to me how the first sentence responds to the question. It seems to me that the answer can start with "Since the standing committee makes recommendations…," continuing to the end. (This has the happy consequence also of removing the proposed make up of the committee from consideration. If any of those bodies were to decline the invitation to participate that premise would be weaker. But if we can just discard the premise in the argument without harm, then we might as well do so.)
