This answer doesn't quite make sense. Presumably, authors agree to
license their work to the W3C such that the W3C can sublicense it
under the W3C document (and perhaps somewhat more liberal)
license. The copyright holder doesn't have anything to agree *to*,
otherwise.
Hi Bijan,
Rigo Wenning and I are planning to revisit the FAQ as part of
licensing discussions. I will take this comment as input.
Thanks!
Here's a fuller version:

It would be great to have a link to the member agreement passage that
makes that clear.
I notice that it doesn't say "irrevocable", which might be worth
incorporating. I know "irrevocability" clauses are weird, etc. but if
you are revisiting anyway it might be something to work in.
Cheers,
Bijan.
