Re: [RPRWG] 802.17 members only site
Khaled,
Bob and I discussed this and we felt that people who were attending
the meetings and had not yet received membership but were likely
to do so deserved the ability to get access. We are aiming to have
the process be as open as is reasonable. Bob says that .5 operated
this way.
The group of people in that second class is small enough that I am
not worried. Plus this maximumizes the number of people who will come
to November with a good understanding of each draft.
thanks for the input,
mike
