(j3.2006) (SC22WG5.3994) Paper 09-238

[Bill Long]

The simple solution for that is to just add the *names* on the WG5 list 
to the J3 list.  We already have some non-J3 members on the J3 list. 
The effectively accomplishes Dick's objective.

The next logical step would be to reduce the WG5 list to only one entry 
- the J3 list alias, or just drop the separate WG5 list entirely and 
have only one list.  That solves Malcolm's original problem permanently.

Cheers,
Bill
