Hi Folks Want to make a couple comments here regarding the subject of TC sustainability. In volunteer organizations I have been part of it has been necessary to provide an honorarium to at least the chair. This is because the chair has to: organize meetings keep the matters of business in their head organize other meetings do the actual work like reviewing (or at least administer it) other things - add here to list... I think these are significant tasks to differentiate the chair from all the other people working so hard to make this TC happen - you know who you are. So to sustain the working group it might take a mix of chair honorarium plus the already committed individuals from Oasis members and a rallying of the community that gets so much from DITA. In order to institute the honorarium we would need a simple entity or foundation to administer funds. Those details can be determined if we consider it a good idea. What do you folks think? cheers Jim
