Re: [oasis-charter-discuss] Proposed charter for OASIS DITA Adoption TC

[James Bryce Clark <jamie.clark@oasis-open.org>]

Hello Kristen & all.
We generally encourage new projects and coalitions, including those 
from new members.  Often a novel proposal will bring in a number of 
stakeholders that were not previously OASIS members.  So, if the 
minimum number of *current* members vouch for a valid charter 
proposal, we also permit and encourage the inclusion of additional 
persons who've indicated an intent to join.

 From the rules viewpoint, they are surplus;  from the 
coalition-building viewpoint, valuable.  Of course, they must 
complete their joining process in time, in order to attend the TC as 
a member when it launches.  I do not know the specific facts of this 
case, but I hope this general comment is informative.  Kind regards 
  Jamie
