New JTC1 members.

From Rob Weirs blog Feb 8 2007 "There are only 30 P-Countries in JTC1.". Bzzt! Wrong! Andy Updegrove noted that there had been a sudden upsurge in P-Country membership and posted on 24 Aug that there were six new JTC1 members, Cyprus, Ecuador, Pakistan, Trinidad/Tobago, Uruguay and Venezuela.

As at today there are 39. Registered in the last five days are Jamaica, Lebanon and Turkey.

Hey guys, welcome aboard… But why the sudden rush?

A two thirds P-Country approved vote is needed for ECMA-376 to proceed with no barriers or review. While Brazils recent no vote is welcome, they seriously need to become a P-Country before Friday for that vote to do any good.
