[tm-pubsubj] (Fwd) Topic Maps TC late candidature

[Bernard Vatant <bernard.vatant@mondeca.com>]

Given the interest of this (late) candidature for TC membership,
considering it was made only a few hours after the formal deadline,
and the context explained in the message, I consider it would not 
be a very serious breach of rules to accept it anyway.

Hence I propose to accept Francis membership candidature,
and invite him to participate in the first meeting, if no formal 
opposition expressed meanwhile.

Bernard

Dear Mr Vatant:
   I realize that I am a little late for the first meeting; however I 
have just been informed by my company about this activity.
  I would like to participate on behalf of Fujitsu in the Topic Maps TC.
  I am president of the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents 
(www.fipa.org); and have been actively involved in the Logic Programming 
community for many years. Currently within FIPA we are initiating an 
effort in semantic frameworks to support contracts between agents.

  Anticipating your positive response

Francis G. McCabe
