No, that's not all this proves.  See these three prominent pages that 
give that address:

http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/Customization/

http://www.tei-c.org/About/contact.xml

http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/SIG/rules.xml

I am happy to update them but am not sure how to change them.

I'm okay with bouncing to an address found in Vault documents, in past 
minutes, working papers, etc. ... but not in webpages that are actively 
maintained.
