Certainly we can discuss it here, or in the meeting, but it seems to me 
that the status of SIGs was pretty thoroughly discussed in Nancy, and is 
quite different from the status of workgroups. Workgroups are the 
mechanism by which revisions in P5 are produced and sent to the Council 
for approval. SIGs might well provide input to that process, but it's 
not their primary purpose.

(Talking of which, Edward, I believe you are down as convenor of the mss 
sig but I
have still to receive anything from you to add to the website!)
