Keep GSG unchanged so they can continue working on their specific tasks at hand. Keep unchanged. This SG is only addressing new standards or existing standards not covered by a current WG/TG –This TAG would not try to develop a recommended practice document –A recommended practice document would require a separate PAR

Discussion: This a vanilla statement…comments/suggestions?
