> Formal Issue Statement 1

> It is a Defect of the current SUO Group policies and procedures
> to delegate determinations of SUO Group policies and procedures
> to the members of a private committee, who conduct proceedings
> outside the continuous quality control, the declared function,
> the established jurisdiction, and the public purview of the
> Main SUO Discussion Group.
MW: No power or responsibility has been delegated. Only work in
developing drafts.

MW: It is perfectly normal for subgroups to develop drafts. It is
innefficient for everyone to try to do everything. The evidence
is we are already swamped.
MW: The authority for approval lies with the main group, and
the subgroup is open to those who wish to contribute (not many
judging from my correspondence).
