Re: [chairs] How to handle applicants and disclosures re TC participation

[James Bryce Clark <jamie.clark@oasis-open.org>]

     We intend it to do just that, and reset the (Kavi) system to turn off 
the write-access of observers around 15 April.   Recently our IT staff 
discovered some code that was thwarting this in some cases, and permitting 
some observers to post anyway.  I'm told this now is corrected, as of a few 
days ago, so no "observers" (or "applicants") should be able to post.
     I think your suggestion about a general post to members (participant 
account holders) about how this works, and how they should retain their 
place if they wish, is excellent and will do so.   Thanks.  JBC
