Grond scratch head.  
Grond put URL for WG-C charter into browser.
Grond read:

     1.Should there be new generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs)? 
        If yes: How many? Which? [rest of paragraph omitted]

Grond think:  when WG-C charter says "which" in third sentence of the 
quoted paragraph, what is the referent?  What means this word "which" 
in this context unless it means WG-C is supposed to (to put this in the 
unmistakable terms aviators use in order to prevent auguring into a 
schoolroom and killing many children)

"SAY TO NC NAMES OF NEW GTLDS WHICH SHOULD BE CREATED."

Grond give himself headache trying to think of what the word "which" 
in paragraph 1 of WG-C charter means if it not mean  "say names of 
New gTLDs." Grond want medicine now, him no can figure out what 
"which" could possibly mean if it not mean this, and headache getting 
worse.  Grond obviously too stupid to play semantic games this morning, 
him too worried about the girl he didn't leave at the side of the river yesterday, and why.....

[digression into the vectors of relationship between the Wu Li masters, 
Ralph the wonder Llama, and the domain name wars omitted for the 
benefit of all, including the only other member of this WG who has the 
least concept of what I'm typing about now :-)

WG-C is a _camel_ designed by a committee.
