I am comfortable with Jim's wording suggestions.  Don -- I guess there
is no getting around the lawyers.  If one doesn't get you, the next
one will.

Why not say what we mean?

Try this friendly amendment for ii.

"... elected by a majority of individual members of the Technical
Committees, whether they are individuals members or employees of member
companies." As drafted member could mean only corporate members or
their
employees. We need to explicitly recognize individuals who are not
corporate
employees.

I think this approach tracks to Karl's interpretation and to Don's intent,
with which I concur.

Could we also clarify clause b: by saying "after the formation of at
least
four .... committees."   Every time I read this, it just
sounds like the
fourth estate or the fifth element.

Here is the wording as originally proposed by Don:

b.      Beginning ninety days after the first
official meeting of the fourth
Legal XML Member Section Technical Committee, the steering committee
shall
be constituted as follows:

i.      Each OASIS LegalXML Member Section
Technical Committee shall elect a
member of the Technical Committee to the OASIS LegalXML Member Section
Steering Committee.

ii.      Three additional �at large� steering
committee members shall be elected
by the set of all members of all OASIS LegalXML Technical Committees
who are
also OASIS LegalXML Member Section members (those who have requested
OASIS
LegalXML Member Section membership upon joining or renewing their OASIS
membership) or employees of such members. The election shall be on
an annual
basis. �At large� members shall serve one-year terms, and shall be
eligible
for election to no more than three successive terms.

c.      The LegalXML Member Section Steering
Committee shall operate under the
OASIS Bylaws and these Rules of Procedure.
