As a former WG chair I strongly disagree. The NCC is not overreaching at all 
here, they are responding to requests from the community. I have asked Hans 
Petter for support in the past, and as the result of that the NCC gave me a 
refund of the meeting fee. That at least made it a little bit easier to attend 
the meeting. I am very happy to see better support for WG chairs that need it, 
on request.

More can be done in the future, but one step at a time.

I am happy with the current step!

Cheers,
Sander
