The governance details are posted below.  Thank you for taking the time to
hash this out, as we are heading into some important changes to your RoP.

1. Governance

1. The LegalXML Member Section Steering Committee will be formed from
existing OASIS members who have indicated their intent to participate
significantly in LegalXML Member Section activities. Initially, the LegalXML
Member Section Steering Committee will be comprised of members from the
current LegalXML, Inc. Board of Directors. All LegalXML Steering Committee
members must be current OASIS members.

2. Beginning ninety days after the first official meeting of the fourth
Legal XML Member Section Technical Committee, the steering committee shall
be constituted as follows:

1. Each OASIS LegalXML Member Section Technical Committee shall
elect a member of the Technical Committee to the OASIS LegalXML Member
Section Steering Committee.

2. Three additional "at large" steering committee members shall be
elected by the set of all members of all OASIS LegalXML Technical Committees
who are also OASIS LegalXML Member Section members (those who have requested
OASIS LegalXML Member Section membership upon joining or renewing their
OASIS membership) or employees of such members. The election shall be on an
annual basis. "At large" members shall serve one-year terms, and shall be
eligible for election to no more than three successive terms.

3. The LegalXML Member Section Steering Committee shall operate under the
OASIS Bylaws and these Rules of Procedure.
