But I assume that you wouldn't expect to see something like:

  Harald stated that Joe Blow is doing a really poor job running
  the slurp WG and that no progress has been made. Jane Doe would
  be a much better chair but she won't touch it unless Biff the Dog
  disappears from the WG.

(with apologies to the real Joe, Jane and Biff).

Would

  Harald reported that no progress has been made in the slurp WG.

be useful?
