That makes sense.

On edu-sig, where I've been the longest (in terms of Python.org sigs) we
plan about eduSummit and maybe EduPycon, things like that, i.e. they have
the flavor of planning and taking action.

But the sig itself is not the fiduciary authority when it comes to putting
those plans into action.  Various subscribers work with other entities to
make the various wheels turn.  Naomi Cedar and Jeff Elkner are among those
who've taken an active role

If you think our WG might have budget e.g. might get voting member sponsors
to fund travel in exchange for advertising their support of Python / PSF in
Cuba, then some words to that effect might go a long way down the road.
Don't let my overly miserly ways get us off on the wrong foot in that
regard.

Saying we just need a mail-list might be too self-denying as well.

Like I might want to hop a PSF jet (we have a fleet of GulfStreams right?)
and bill it to the WG at some point. I bet I'm not the only one.  ;-D

As long as we stay accountable and do more with less ("lets keep it
dymaxion" as some of my friends would say).

Good thing we have the Decimal class to help us keep track of all the $$!.
