Hi everyone,
Just chiming in to state what I hope is obvious:
that *anyone* is able to communicate with a TC via the comments list - a
question could be posed, the TC can then come up with an agreed-upon
answer, and respond to the requestor.
Regards,
Mary

[office] A proposed resolution
That is always an option for the
TC, whenever we have a chunk of work that is large enough and specialized
enough to warrant a subcommittee to work on it.
But I wouldn't read this resolution as being focused
entirely on Ecma 376, though that is certainly a topic of interest, For
example you may recall last year, during the ISO ballot of ODF 1.0, that there
were some awkward times when a NB had some questions about IRI's or BiDi
support and could not figure out how to officially ask the TC questions.
So such questions were handled informally, via intermediaries, etc.
I'd like to do better in this area when we submit ODF 1.2, so that SC34
knows that we value their questions and their input.
