Gordon, I agree, but I don't think my meaning was clear. I was not suggesting that outreach was purely the role of the Co-Chairs and of course we always need to be careful (I know this very well). It was rather that the role of the WG involves outreach and bringing others into the community, so it should consider this in every action, including the selection of Co-Chairs. It is a factor, far from the whole thing.
