I can understand why DWG keeps internal communications private - to protect
individuals. It appears they did contact you for more information since
your first message stated "but I know that someone has complained about my
complaints, and I wish to know who, and in what terms." You should respond
to the DWG with the information they may have requested. But you should
also consider that your approach may have been upsetting. By modifying your
approach may yield better results. Right now my advice is to work with DWG
to resolve the complaint. The DWG has a good reputation with the community.

DWG does publish quarterly summaries of their work at
