Thanks for the quick reply Kenn.

That would be useful information to include include in the notice. 
Additionally, although a closing announcement was posted to the 
newsgroup, the group was almost immediately deleted making it unlikely 
that it would be seen by anyone who wasn't reading religiously.

OK, so there's no way for interested parties to find out unless they're 
Eclipse members.  Might I suggest that sending a notice to the newsgroup 
might be appropriate?

We actually did look into becoming Associate Members, but since as an 
open source organization we depend on the kindness of pro bono lawyers 
and the main benefit seems to be co-marketing, we decided not to burn 
their valuable time reviewing all the documents associated with 
membership.  Perhaps we need to revisit that decision if there's 
significant communication that's restricted to members lists.
