<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">The Forum Infrastructure Working Group (FIWG) was chartered during a period when the CABF Bylaws did not permit for the creation of subcommittees at the
Forum level (only under a particular Working Group). Since the work the FIWG needed to undertake was pressing and covered the needs of the Forum as a whole, it was chartered as a Working Group to permit this work to begin under the existing Bylaws.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36.0pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">With the completion of the recent Bylaws changes, subcommittees may now be constructed at the Forum level. In addition, the recent
changes to Bylaws and membership have identified a hole by which membership in the FIWG could be used to “back-door” membership in the Forum as a whole, an unintended consequence worth squashing.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36.0pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">This ballot, therefore, lays down the existing FIWG and immediately re-charters a Forum Infrastructure Subcommittee to continue
its work.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
