?? Could you give me a pointer where it says that "the NC can put anyone
it wants to into the WG's"?

Given that the WG's are elements of the GA (per VI-B 2(b)) it would seem
odd that the NC has any say in the matter whatsoever.

And as it says in VI-B 4(a), the GA "should" is composed of individuals.

When one adds those together, it is pretty clear that the bylaws require
that working groups "should" be composed of individuals plus the
explicitly designated representative from each constituency.
