I'm sorry I didn't make that more clear in my original posting.  This is
indeed the case.  What I meant to show: if your employer isn't sending a
representative and you have a strong enough reason to fund your own direct
participation, you may do so.

Hmmm.  What would the committee (or its parent, X3) do, if, for instance,
Fred Flakikode of XYZ Corporation were to become a principal member
(representing himself), and then two months later, XYZ Corp. applied for
the priveledge of sending a company representative?  Would there be any
difference depending on if XYZ was a large organization or not?  (i.e.
Department "A" is responsible for trying to send a representative, while
Fred works for Department "W" on the opposite coast.)

Just plain old-fashioned curiosity at work here.
