Re: [council] GA
Hi, All this considered, we as a council are still responsible for the GA list. I am a subscriber and watched the process of developing these rules, though as a member of the council did not actively participate or vote on them. I did see a well ordered process, in developing these rules. I think the thing that we should do at this point is indicate that they can moderate the list based on the rules they suggest. This takes the issue of how we deal with this responsibility of ours off the table for the moment. I do not think we need to get into discussing their self identity as a group, or their election processes. that is actually a board issue in any case. Our only responsibility is the list and its behavior as a list; i.e. mostly its netiquette. I admit that it is not one of our more pressing policy issues despite being a responsibility, that is why i was hoping to deal with this quickly and in a way that did not seem to create any de-facto realities or accept any new responsibilities. As I see it, there is a list, it is our responsibility to moderate it and this is one way to do it - let them make rules and see how it goes. a. Incidentally, a disclosure: Before I was elected GNSO chair, I was already a subscriber and did vote in the decision to hold an election vote. Since becoming chair, I have distanced myself from active participation. Personally, I would like to see the list make something of itself. On 21 aug 2007, at 04.14, Philip Sheppard wrote:
