the Steering Committee of the TEI together with the editors,
 
THEREFORE be it resolved herewith by the Steering Committee of the
Text Encoding Initiative:
 
* that the Steering Committee devolves its responsibility for the
ordinary business of guiding the TEI, settling issues of policy, and
the like upon an Executive Committee of the TEI;
 
* that the Executive Committee shall comprise (a) the members of the
Steering Committee, and (b) the editors (both editor in chief and

performance shall be discharged by the Executive Committee; at its
discretion, the Steering Committee may discuss and act upon these
latter issues without the participation of the other members of the
Executive Committee.
