Proposal in relation to the IGO Work Track

Hi all,

I'm sorry for my late comment on this topic. According with the 
concerns, I only should say that WT is just in initial steps of working, 
there's no major decisions yet. Actually I do not see how this 
conversion can change the working structure for the Team, is just a 
linking topic to approve its final report and I think the Addendum it 
covers it, as Tanya said before, I do not see either any difference in 
terms of content about what we are discussing it. Whether remember good 
RPM WG it was derivation from Subsequent Procedures and IGO is like a 
"child" from RPM discussions.

We all know that "E" in PDP is almost a joke.

Best Regards,

Juan
