Re: [ihc] Proposed New Subcommittee (and roster update)

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

     This sounds like an excellent suggestion.  Of course, it is up to the 
members of the Technical Committee to approve such a subcommittee.
      In service of that, at Dr. Elkin's request, we will initiate a 
web-based ballot of the TC's voting members.  This TC previously has 
approved the use of electronic ballots.  I will initiate that ballot and 
advise you by a separate message.
     In preparation for this ballot, we have reviewed and updated the TC 
roster to correctly reflect current voting membership of the TC, as we 
understand it , base on activity records and our TC Process rules [1].
      As a result, a few persons have newly acquired voting status (because 
their waiting period has elapsed and they are active members).   If your 
status has changed, you should receive a separate notification message 
directly from our OASIS member database system.   Anyone with questions 
regarding their appropriate status should feel free to contact me directly.
      Thank you for your participation.  JBC
