January 2010 - and those open questions

[Stephen J. McConnell]

If I were feeling cynical I could suggest that I just love the way that
expert group members jump in and express opinions. I could perhaps
suggests that it makes me feel all warm inside. Problem is that I'm not
cynical and I'm not feeling all warm and fuzzy.  

So perhaps I need to lay out some direct questions:

a) where is the specification
b) where is the expert group

Cheers, Steve.
