I withdrew my offer to serve in any capacity later in the meeting.

I placed those who I asked in this category if they replied that
they wished to participate as a member and not as an observer.
I wanted to make sure that Kavi allowed them to access all TC
documents and comment as a participant on the list, even though
they had no capacity to vote.

I left them as not voting members until they met the three meeting
or 60 day requirement. This seemed to work correctly when doing
ballots in Kavi.

There should only be three of these, John, Michael and
Rick.
