[ALAC] Discussion: CWG-Stewardship role in implementation

[Alan Greenberg]

Given that this was explicitly supported by a number of ALAC members 
and objected to by none (with one ALAC Member believing that the 
charter should be explicitly changed), I will report to the CWG- 
Stewardship at its meeting tomorrow that the ALAC supports the plan.
