[J3] Upcoming Letter Ballot regarding Emeritus Member attendance at J3 meeting 224

[Bill Long]

Also from the ISO/WG5 web page:

"WG5, like all other JTC1 Working Groups, consists of a Convenor and one or more Project Managers, all appointed by the parent Sub-Committee (SC22 in WG5's case), together with a number of individual members who are nominated by their National Member Bodies. It is not possible to apply directly to become an individual member of a Working Group without the support of an appropriate Member Body.”

Makes it pretty clear that INCITS can prevent anyone they choose from participating. 

Cheers,
Bill
