Dear Ted,
thanks for the note. I do however have two questions:
- 4 x staff
- 2 x org membership
- 2 x chapters
- 1 x secretary
Q1. how are sustaining members that are not members of a chapter
represented?
Q2. at what level of transparency will the WG operate? Will the mailing
list archives be open for consultation? Call transcripts?
Kind regards,
Olivier
