Re: New "Web Audio Developers Community Group" created

No.  That's always the case when you (as an employee of a W3C Member
company) want to join a CG.  (The rules are different when you work for a
Member company - any unaffiliated person simply agrees to the patent
policy, but since we're employees of a Member company, we fall under their
umbrella - so our company has to approve it.)
