I have recent poor experiences with large "design" teams that didn't
keep enough records, and did not communicate with the WG.  

I don't have a problem with a three person design team that has the
ability to schedule multiple afternoon work sessions a week and actually
get things done.  I don't see how this long list of people can actually
do this.

I'd rather that it wasn't an interim working group meeting.
I don't feel that the process isn't being followed: it hadn't even
occured to me that a cmte of the whole is effectively an interim
meeting.

I'm just concerned that such a large design team will be ineffective,
but let's go ahead, and see what turns up.
