Re: [meetings] Can non-members attend meetings? (#21)

Freedom here is a little less clear than that given that joining entails entering into a legal agreement, which many companies will want to get legal advice on.  I'm happy that the chairs are being flexible about membership now (within very narrow bounds), but I expect that to cease at some point.  We are talking about having members (who have done the right thing) being exposed to some amount of risk if we permit participation without membership.  I would like to see us move fairly promptly to limiting non-members to an observing role only.

I worry less about [textual contributions](https://github.com/patcg/meetings/issues/21#issuecomment-1034206050) than I do about substantive input that might affect decisions the group makes.
