This is exactly what I meant when I said more active chairing would be welcome. I didn’t mean “pushing for a certain outcome”, that would indeed not be good. But making suggestions, getting the WG to be more active etc. are all good. And that is how I understood your original message. Active but not activist :) Cheers!
