Sure, I think these are all part of it...and hopefully Roberto WILL add to 
it, if we're missing anything.

Sorry to hear that, Bret, but it's understandable. I've been looking at the 
report from WG-D, and thinking about ways some of that work could be 
applied here, as well as the work that Danny Younger put into his proposal 
on the APA - derived consensus process. There is a lot that the GA can do, 
if it just focuses on doing what it can.

Hopefully, others will accept - yes, it's a lot of work, and I'm sure 
Roberto and Harald would both say that a lot of it is thankless at best, 
but it needs doing by somebody.
