If I were a voting member I'd vote against the last item. The "dilution"
reflects a different organizational arrangement. There is no such
arrangement with docbook -- it is a fully compliant OASIS TC, within
the boundaries of OASIS, so I don't see any reason why it should
not live under OASIS proper...
