2. Currently access to 802.11 members area is granted:
September 2010
Currently access to members area is granted:
To voters and former voters on an active voting pool
To “active” members of other 802 groups,  when vouched as active by the chair of that group
To anybody with members area status in another group.   Different groups have different requirements varying from “free to anybody on request” to “voting members only”.
To the drafts to all attendees during an session

Concerns with current access criteria
We make it more difficult for our own members than it is for members of other groups to access our drafts.
I have had a number of reasonable requests for access from new participants who want to work on new drafts between meetings,  and don’t like having to turn these people down.

Proposed Change
Propose to open up access to the members area to any active participant
Active is defined to be a member of status “aspirant”, “potential voter”, “voter” or a former voter member on an active WG voting pool.
