I will take this comment as input. Thanks! Here's a fuller version: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-comments/2010Jun/ 0019.html It would be great to have a link to the member agreement passage that makes that clear. I notice that it doesn't say "irrevocable", which might be worth incorporating. I know "irrevocability" clauses are weird, etc. but if you are revisiting anyway it might be something to work in. Cheers, Bijan.
