I apologize for the long delay in reply to this .  Summer takes its
toll . . .

I think we need to include our IP language for each TC that is to be
considered a LegalXML TC within this governance document in Section 2
(possibly as a second sentence to Section 2b).

I also think we need to carry over the provision from our first draft
governance document indicating that official business is to be done
during live meetings (phone or in person), absent emergency
circumstances (in which case we could do a proxy vote or something).
If we work with clear and regular management practices, then there is
no reason we can't do all of our official business during meetings -
as opposed to the very problematic old LegalXML approach of e-mail
debates and ad hoc votes on a continual basis.  The volunteer nature
of this work, combined with the lack of need for such 24/7/365
responsiveness strongly suggest that we should refrain from starting
down the slippery slope of e-mail votes and debates on official
business.

Finally, there was some language in our old document about our
mission.  I'd like to see that back in (I can find it and send it if
there is interest).

Thanks,
 - Dan
