I see your point. On the other hand, one of the purpose of these calls
is to provide the WG's with deadlines that spur them into activity.
No reports = no deadlines = no activity.  But I agree that to have
this play out better, an earlier reminder for the call would be
necessary.  

CE is not active any more, BTW.

Please do so!

All the best,
