Not if we say they're not. :-)

The concept (as I remember it from our meeting) is that we could
simply direct a properly qualified person in our employ to spend a
couple of months on this and charge it back to XML.org as if it had
been two months of work by someone that XML.org was paying as a
full-time employee (or a certain amount of part-time work charged back
proportionately -- you get the idea).

The point is that if we can't find someone properly qualified to hire
as a full-time OASIS employee right now, we can assign people
temporarily from our own staffs (perhaps on a rotating and/or parallel
basis) and be largely if not completely compensated for it from the
funds budgeted for the (temporarily?) nonexistent full-time hire.
