[Wg-mwp] WG-MWP: 2018 WG Status Report: (was: Webex meeting invitation & Draft Agenda - October 30th, 2018 1500 -1600 UTC)

Sun Jan 13 09:15:32 EST 2019

The report as drafted looks good. In conclusion it could also say that the
muti year work program requires multi year work by the working group. Some
form of continuous approval could also be requested from the MAG for
uninterrupted work on MWP.
