S. (Hank) Lauson) Message-Id: <9204280545.AA10221@chaco.cs.unm.edu> To: sc22wg5@dkuug.dk Subject: More on clarification of X3J3 membership Cc: lauson@unmvax.cs.unm.edu X-Charset: ASCII X-Char-Esc: 29 Re Bill Leonard's 23 Apr 92 13:39:27 reply to Jerry Wagener's message of earlier the same day - May I also quote from the brand-new copy of the SD-2 "4.2.6. Termination of Membership ... a) The principal and all ... b) The voting membership will be canceled ... X3 or its subgroups may vote to continue the membership despite failure of the member to comply with the membership criteria in item a) above." Seems to me that this implies that we can set our own "rules" for attendance but have to vote whenever they conflict with item a) above. My feeling is that the difference between "two out of three" and "three out of four" is semantic quibbling - if a) 1) were rewritten to use the phrase "three out of four" someone would say it meant "two out of three"!
