RE: [security-jc] adding WSS to the JC

Karl

Thanks for the clarification.  I think it's also worth pointing out to
the current JC members that the perceived "if a TC pulls out we have to
collapse the JC..." is not a part of the new process.  In summary, our
JC is governed by pretty much the same rules as a TC with regard to
participation.  The JC chair has a little more "weight" when it comes to
nudging a TC->JC liaisons that their participation is lacking.
Otherwise...  

I've added a link to the coordination section of the process document
from the membership section of the JC site.
