A useful tool to analyse/track WG discussions and, more broadly, an interesting approach to the broader question of the use of AI in standards development.

Best,

OK, I* threw together a tool to download many of the appropriate bits in a form that's amenable to feeding into NotebookLM:

Although (of course) I can't trust it completely, I'm finding it's a very good way to interact with the 'memory' of a WG. In particular it can serve as 'another set of eyes' that doesn't have the biases that I may have.
