[ALAC] Discussion: CWG-Stewardship role in implementation

[Alan Greenberg]

Seun, I believe that this lightweight process is 
instead of updating the charter, which would 
require new drafting and then formal action on 
behalf of all of the chartering bodies to approve 
the revision. If the chartering bodies all agree 
to this method, we have effectively changed the 
mandate of the CWG without having to go through 
the formalities - quicker and easier.

These messages (asking for and getting permission 
from the chartering bodies) will form part of the 
overall documentation for the CWG and should be sufficient.
