Considering such a policy raises a number of questions:
* Can anyone serve as "support staff" or must the staff member be
from the same "organization",
JMB: This wasn't formalized, but in all cases the support
staff was from the same organization.
* Depending on how we answer the above, what is the policy for
"individuals"?
* Is travel for support staff funded?
* Can support staff participate in discussions, email or
otherwise?
JMB: Yes, but with the qualification that they are either
speaking on behalf of the full member, or speaking to administrative issues.
* Can support staff vote, in the absence of a member?
JMB: THere were only a few formal votes on the ATRT, and
in all cases the support staff did not have a vote.
* Are supported staff counted when determining quorum (this
assumes we vote)?
And I'm sure there are more.

Good morning:
On the ATRT, each member was allowed to name a person to function as their
support staff or adjunct to the Review Team. I fulfilled this role for Warren
Adelman. Support personnel were non-voting members, but included in all
teleconferences and face-to-face meetings, and on the mailing list.
Is this something that RT4 members plan to do as well? By way of disclosure, I
have no plans to include any support staff.
Thanks--
