Re: minutes of telecon 10-28

one comments on the notes.
concerning:
"Units and Measures: editor candidate likely to be rejected by W3C as WG 
member.
This will need f2f discussion.  A lot of requests for this note, need to
determine how to move forward.  This will be the principle item 
discussed at
f2f during the OEP section (during telecon)."

it would be useful to me to understand what would make w3c reject an 
editor candidate and also what the w3c stance is for having authors of 
notes not be members of swbp.
i took 2 action items in previous telecons at what appeared to be group 
consensus to contact 2 people on different notes to potentially take a 
lead role in getting notes out where no working group member had 
volunteered.  i need to understand what my response should be now that i 
have contacted each person, have received favorable responses, and now 
need to respond.
