[cabf_governance] Draft Statement of Purpose of CAB Forum

[Virginia Fournier]

Hi Ben,

I definitely appreciate the thought and energy you are putting into this effort.  However, I am not convinced that we need to completely overhaul everything.  As I previously mentioned, we need to discuss the goals and objectives of the Governance WG before we start tearing down the walls and building a new SDO.  We need to figure out what we want/need to accomplish before we can determine how to get there.  Right now it feels like we are trying to drive a car with no engine and no destination.


Best regards,

Virginia Fournier
