Working Groups emerging from DC-5 The Helsinki meeting identified a number of areas (some new, some old) which require focussed effort for resolution. Working Groups have formed around these issues. The list of groups follows, along with the moderators who have volunteered to shephard the efforts of these working groups and prepare a report on the results. I have asked the moderators to mail to the meta2 list a brief charter for the group and a timeline for expected deliverables. It is expected that mail reflectors will be established to conduct the discussions rather than flood the META2 list with many parallel discussions. When you see a notice of a working group that you feel you have the time and expertise to contribute to, please contact the leader to be added to the group. Please note: YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE BEEN AT HELSINKI TO PARTICIPATE. Reports of the working groups and archives of the discussions will be linked to the DC pages.
