Hi,

On many occasions we've had need to give CVS access to the EML module to 
people who are not members of the EML Project.  On other projects we 
have changed our policies to allow "sponsored accounts" that give access 
to non-members by making a sponsoring member responsible for all commits 
and changes made.  I think this would be a good change to the EML 
policies as well.  It would allow people who are temporarily working 
with members to more easily make contributions, and it would help people 
who want to become members to more easily make contributions. Sponsored 
accounts would not have voting privileges, just CVS write access.

[VOTE]
The EML Project should change its charter to allow for the creation of 
sponsored accounts granting CVS write access to non-members at the 
request of and under the responsibility and review of a sponsoring 
member of the EML project.
    [Approve]   or [Neutral] or [Reject with explanation]

Please vote by Aug 25.  Current members are: bergsma, berkley, blankman, 
brunt, chapal, gries, higgins, jones, cjones, mccartney, obrien, ramsey, 
and schildhauer (plus brooke who is inactive). Thanks.

Matt
