Hi Jason:

I think your proposal works fine as well.  I will caution the TSC that with
a cap of one person per company, we will have a dynamic where qualified
people from our participating organizations, both operators and vendors,
will possibly choose not to run for the TSC because they don't want to
compete for the one TSC slot with other, often higher ranking,
coworker(s).  So for some organizations it will be a more meritocratic
selection, and for other organizations it will be more like an appointment.

We are adding a session this afternoon to talk through the TSC composition,
in part because there has not been very much input on this thread, and the
TSC should be close to a vote on this topic by  Thursday.  We don't have a
lot of time in the Thursday TSC session for a lengthy discussion on this
topic given the number of other agenda items for that meeting.

Best,

Phil.
