<DIV>Brian,</DIV>
<DIV>I believe that the Adoption Committee should encompass Marketing, Adoption and Usability, all of which are closely related. So, no additional committee is necessary for Marketing specifically. That said, I am assuming that "Marketing" in this context is for reaching out to potential customers of OpenID, not handling general PR.</DIV>

<DIV class=plainMail>I am OK with doing interop planning in the Technical committee.

From personal experience, trying to get/keep committees active and productive is harder than we'd like, so limiting the fragmentation of groups when possible is advantageous since there is overhead associated with managing groups. But if there is a passionate and focused group that wants to work explicitly and exclusively on interop, we should take advantage of that desire and create the right organizational capability for them to make those
