Re: [cmis] Browser binding for CMIS

[Mary McRae <mary.mcrae@oasis-open.org>]

Hi David,

   That's the only way according to our rules unless the discussions will remain on the main TC list. A subcommittee is actually intended to be nothing other than an informal workgroup; it has grown to become more but our rules still require any decisions/approvals/etc to be conducted at the TC level. A subcommittee would basically provide a sub-mailing list visible to the entire TC but only those participating would actually receive the messages directly.
