Independent consultants as committee members

[Rex Jaeschke]

%----------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the membership categories for X3 technical committees (such as
X3J11 and X3J11.1) is ``Consultant Organization.'' Anyone representing
such an organization is supposed to declare in writing that they are not,
in reality, representing an organization that already has voting
privileges on the same committee.  Obviously, without such a requirement, a
company could really have one direct and an arbitrary number of indirect
voting members.

If you are voting as an independent consultant or as an employee of a
consulting organization, please send something like the following to
CBEMA. The issue was brought to my attention because of my role as a
consultant and my pending nomination as X3J11 chair. CBEMA asked me to
remind the membership as a whole, of this requirement.

Dear Dan,

Regarding X3/SD2 requirements on consultant affiliation: 

I declare that my participation in X3J11 and X3J11.1 activities is not
being funded by any organization already having voting membership on those
committees.
