New miscellanous process issues

[Jon Bosak <bosak@boethius.eng.sun.com>]

I am adding the following questions to the list of miscellaneous
issues:

   MI 5. Can a request for action by OASIS come directly from an
         outside organization, or must it always be submitted on
         behalf of that organization by one or more OASIS members?

   MI 6. Does OASIS standardization of a collaborative effort require
         a formal vote of all the collaborating organizations?

   MI 7. What is the vote in a committee required for the approval of
         a technical specification?

The revised list appears below.
