Hi

This is an excellent background statement about the org and an excellent list
of target activities.  Thank you Tarek for preparing it.
Indeed we have a lot of work  ahead of us. I look forward to helping spread
the word and meet these goals.

My question is 
Do we not need to detail why the figure of 20KUSD is needed and how it will be
allocated?

When I am preparing a budget, I have to show how much money is spent on what
items or activities.  Do we not need to do that here? How do we know that 20K
is enough? 

A second question is should wg-e be responsible for
"Define members' qualifications"?  Perhaps that is the province of another
group.

Please, I apologize if I am ignorant of anything and await explanation.

Jeff
