Terra - I am unsure what triggered your email.

In the current model we are trying out, Spokescouncil's have the same
decision making authority as any WG . . . if something comes up at a SC
meeting, which needs OB approval, the issue will be "bumped up" to GA

and if SC's do get adopted at OB, of course agendas and topics will be
announced ahead of time. Why did you think they may not be?
