Well, the only actions gendispatch can ever take are to say that the 
work should go to a WG, or AD sponsored, etc. I expect that gendispatch 
might take such an action if it has enough information, and I think that 
Alissa and Barry would like to hear the opinion of gendispatch on that. 
But it surely isn't doing any of the work on the content of the 
document.
