[tei-council] TEI Candidate Question Prompt

[David Sewell]

Maybe the solution would be to add to James's " ... areas on which you 
feel the TEI Consortium should focus" a parenthetical phrase like 
"(bearing in mind that the Board and Council are responsible for 
different areas of overall Consortium activity)"?

There's no reason Board candidates can't address features of the 
Guidelines they feel are important, or Council candidates weigh in on 
general TEI-C organization, but they should be reminded that the two 
entitities differ in their *responsibility* for such things.
