Ulf!

Wonderful to have your input at this very late stage! Can we expect you to volunteer for the LWG? Please be sure to read the minutes of the last few months meetings first. Even better - can you outline your alternative suggestion?

For some crazy reason the LWG thought it should start with the members of the OSMF, you know, the OSMF which set up the LWG in the first place and then move on to thousands of contributors once the members had decided what to do. Crazy I know! Maybe they should have started by asking random people in the street.. that would be fun!

Anyway, do let us all know how your plan is better than what the LWG has built over the last year? Super looking forward to it!

Yours &c.

Steve
