Garth,

Please note: The Working Group is not a group that's come out of 
nowwhere.  Chris G and Chris K are members of the Working Group, as am
I; Don Goldhamer has been to a meeting.  Other members include
representatives from Labor Beat and Citizens from Independent
Public Broadcasting--Chicago.

But I'm looking at this with jaundiced eyes. :-) I'll let others chime in
on this matter.
