Re: [oic] OIC TC 2012-03-20 Meeting Minutes

In looking at the list of members absent—a long list—I'm just wondering even if some of those want to continue with the TC —or are even still with their named employer. For instance…. does Nokia really now want a member here? And does not Chris Rae replace Cherie (who moved on to other subjects), as well as replacing Doug M and Eric P? I mean, we have three MSFT reps listed. That's great—but I think that Chris is the Man from MSFT, yes? :-)

I realize that having names listed but not actually showing up provides for those occasions when it is in fact deemed useful to be present, and so correcting the list is a little beside the point, in fact, misses the point. But I also think that it might be useful (or at least less boring) to ask the members listed periodically how much they want still to participate.

I guess some of this might require a change in Oasis protocol, and there is no urgent need of that, at least not yet :-).

thanks
louis
