<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">The Forum Infrastructure Working Group (FIWG) was chartered during a period when the CABF Bylaws did not permit for the creation
of subcommittees at the Forum level (only under a particular Working Group). Since the work the FIWG needed to undertake was pressing and covered the needs of the Forum as a whole, it was chartered as a Working Group to permit this work to begin under the
existing Bylaws.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;text-indent:.5in">
<span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">With the completion of the recent Bylaws changes, subcommittees may now be constructed at the Forum level. In addition, the recent changes to Bylaws and membership have identified a hole by which membership
in the FIWG could be used to “back-door” membership in the Forum as a whole, an unintended consequence worth squashing.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;text-indent:.5in">
