I have the feeling that we're talking past one another. I knew that  
Vickram and Arun had taken on some responsibility for WSFII's  
participation in the conference. I didn't know that they had agreed  
to manage the extended stream, or whatever that portion might be called.

I agree that there might be some minor confusion. We have created an  
umbrella organization that includes several stake holders, and some  
conversations about vision and objectives have not been shared. I  
look forward to sorting out common objectives and moving forward.
