Subject: [xtm-wg] Nomination for a new AG member -- Bernard Vatant


I wish to take this opportunity to nominate Bernard Vatant for membership in
the AG.  Bernard brings to this group strong interest and knowledge related
to Topic Maps.  Indeed, he is involved in web projects that will ultimately
showcase TM technology.
 
As it turns out, Jean Delahousse suggested that he ask for a nomination, and
I have taken the initiative to do that (sorry Jean, I bet you were about to
do that yourself). I now quote from Bernard's email to me his statements
regarding the strength of his interest in XTM.

I therefore officially offer this nomination.  I look forward to a second
and sufficient votes, preferably without the use of punched cards :-)  Since
I am not much of a parliamentarian, I'll just volunteer to count the votes
if that's appropriate.  Someone else will have to decide what constitutes a
winning count.
