   regarding the operation and maintenance of XML.org.

3. Representation

   Each member organization shall be entitled to designate one
   principal and one alternate representative.  Principals and

   this order or other orders adopted by the OASIS Board of
   Directors, with the OASIS bylaws, with the OASIS Articles of
   Incorporation, or with provisions of law.

5. Member organizations shall be added to or removed from the ACXO
   by resolution of the Board of Directors.
