Either Jerry is incorrect in his assertion, or we (X3J3 members) have been
misinformed of meeting requirements.  According to Jerry's schedule, a WG5
member attending only those indicated meetings would, at each meeting, have
missed 2 of the last 3 meetings.  I have been told (numerous times) that
missing 2 of the last 3 meetings loses an X3J3 his/her membership.

This is especially important to me now, because I missed the last meeting
and was under the impression I *had* to attend, or be represented, at the
May meeting to retain my membership.

I do not wish to exclude WG5 members from X3J3, but I would object if they
have less stringent attendance requirements than X3J3 members themselves.
Jerry, can you please clarify the requirements?
