Statement of interest -- I chose to leave the Steering Committee a year
ago to make room for new blood and new leadership.  I am seeking one of
the at large positions because of my disappointment in the Steering
Committee's performance during the past year -- It has met infrequently;
meetings have not been well attended.  It has not completed its
reconstitution under the revised structure; it has provided no support
to technical committees (declining to act on a request for support from
the ECFTC); it has made no use of the resources in its OASIS account; it
has several inactive technical committees.  The Steering Committee needs
revitalization and a clear sense of purpose.  It should, among other
things, demand regular progress from its technical committees, ensure
horizontal compatibility of specifications among technical committees,
and establish a test environment where users of Legal XML Member Section
specifications can test their implementations.
