Yes, I am quite familiar with RFC 2418. In fact, I was involved in 
creation of one of the earlier design teams.  I hope then that it is 
clear that I am not agitating against the concept. Nor am I really 
agitating for anything, period.

My point was that design teams make sense either when they exist either 
outside of any WG  or in big groups where several of them tackle 
different matters *in parallel*.  If SCIM has only one design team, this 
situation is indistinguishable to me from the one where there is no 
design team at all.

My only question is : If there is a difference, where is it?
