I disagree.  I want to know from the people *funding* xml.org how
they want to spend their money.  I think that we need to hear from
all of the major sponsors (IBM, Sun, SAP) and as many of the minor
sponsors as possible.

Note that I called this an xml.org sponsors' meeting.  If for
logistical reasons this doesn't work as an ACXO meeting, then I
think we should take the discussion off this list and organize it
as an unofficial meeting of the sponsors.

It appears that the dates available at this point are:

   Mon 4/30
   Wed 5/02

(I originally had "phone only" for 4/30, but I now realize that I
can host a meeting in person on that day if the meeting is held
in Menlo Park.)

Is there anyone among the paying sponsors of xml.org who can't
make one of those two dates, participating by phone if necessary?
