Re: [ws-caf] Fw: OASIS rule clarification

[Doug Bunting <Doug.Bunting@Sun.COM>]

Eric, Karl, Mark and Martin (not sure who will resolve this issue),

We have seen a reasonable number of emails from people who did not 
attend the meeting through no fault or intent of their own but because 
of a problem in distributing the agenda email.  The information was not 
available on the OASIS site because the links from our member area to 
the email archives were also not working.  (Those links started to work 
only over the past couple of days.)  Further, the TC calendar did not 
contain any information about the first meeting.

We seem to be punishing Anne, Bill, (possibly) Krishna, Rajesh, Ramesh 
and probably others.  In effect, a technical glitch means their intent 
to become initial members of the TC will be ignored.  Their votes will 
not count until the first teleconference after the face to face meeting 
rather than during the next teleconference if we go with this strict 
reading of the OASIS rules.  I recommend some leniency here.

thanx,
	doug
