While I do agree that having Aline and myself on the committee is a step in
the right direction, I think that what we need is to get representation on
the OTHER committee. Aline and I were invited to the committee that is
essentially a production committee - how the pages should be organized, what
should they look like, etc.

The other committee (the name of which I do no know) deals with the more
substantive issues: what info will be on the pages. The issues of interest to
Jim Thomas, which are legal issues will be (or rather should be) discussed
in this committee. Can someone on power get at least oine member of webmasters
on this web-policy committee?
