Absolutely not.  First, our process says not.  Second, we have to
be sure that TCs can obtain a quorum, which means that we have to
satisfy OASIS members (or P*'s) who want to stay abreast of what's
going on without becoming TC members.  Any attempt to remove them
from mailing lists will lead to some of them joining up temporarily
and then not attending meetings.

I think our quorum requirements are unworkable, but I think we ought
to test our brand-new process for a year before fiddling with it.
Note that quorum is closely related to the ability to call 
unexpected meetings, and curtailing the latter might make it easier
to loosen quorum requirements.  But let's not go there yet, let's
wallow in the experience.
