Acually it was the Env Com's intent that these linke would appear on the
WEC Environment Committee page, under the documents section which I
created on Monday, and which have pointers to all the working documents
relevant to the committee's work.  That said, I agree that it would be
useful to have a master strategy for all WEC reference documents, along
with an index to them.
