Agreed, I was thinking in terms of this:
If a WG needs an interim meeting, then there should be an
effort to co-ordinate with other WGs have common interim
meetings. ADs could also lend a hand, and, for example,
suggest other WGs to meet at the same to in order to help
co-ordinate work.
This would aid in another area, that some folks have brought up,
that WGs often don't do much co-ordination of work. Some
face-to-face time together could aid that.
