Subject: Re: [ubl] TC attendance and quorums
I agree we need to make some changes. Your point number 4 below, is one I had thought strange from the beginning. To be a member of a Sub Committee, but not a member of the TC. I will very much support a change to make all SC members also TC members. Dial in sessions have already been asked for at this last meeting in Minneapolis. Because I had not known of the request before hand, and because of a shortage of conferencing phones available from the hotel, we were unable to do it. But, I support this, and if we know enough in advance, it should be easier to get it set up. Good work Jon, thanks for keeping things organized.
